Joel's N-Goal

Black guys dunk against the Celtics,
Hit home runs against the Red Sox,
Now and then thwart extra-point kicks
When some Patriots neglect blocks
All of which annoys a Southie,
Recognized for being mouthy.

Bigot, though? No worse than others
Decades past school integration,
Meaning if he had his druthers,
Wishfully a whitish Boston.
Rinkside, Bruins fans were quiet.
Elsewhere, Tweets roused cyber riot.

Black Joel Ward, the fourth-line reason
Fans in Washington were frenzied,
Maybe last game of their season,
Knocking off the number-two seed
In the NHL East playoffs,
Followed by a hail of N-scoffs.

How, I wonder, Tiger Woods could
Win the whitest of athletics,
Cheered so far and wide that I would
Doubt an issue of genetics
Still irked fans who loathed opponents.
Why then, such a gross resurgence ?

Jealousy, illogic’s product,
Strikes me why they’re not together:
Blacks exacerbate whites’ conduct,
Steering clear of frigid weather
North of places like Milwaukee,
Clime of brutal, stunning hockey.
