Joe

Joe

Joe’s a multiculturist,
works hard to push the cause.
Gives speeches to the party,
gets rapturous applause.
“Make the land a melting pot
of many tribes,” he says,
“enjoy the diversity
of their exciting ways.

They bring in fancy foodstuff
like curry and kebabs,
exotic hooded ladies,
nice men to drive the cabs.”
Well versed in Marx and Trotsky,
dab hand at union law –
never read a history book
crammed full of tribal war.
