The Blame Game

Danny Shot    

Who me? you? who? me?
Who's to blame?
Who's at fault?
Who stole the teeth
from Betty Lou's smile?
Blame the poor
It's not my fault
Blame the Blacks
I didn't do it
Blame the Jews
killers of our favorite savior
Blame se habla Spanglish
Blame book readers
women with hairy legs
Blame noserings
Hostess Twinkies
Japanese baseball
welfare mothers
and baggy pants.
Blame the 60's
the Kennedy's
union workers
who dare to ask
for more.
Pin the blame
on the donkey.
Blame Oliver Stone
for Nixon.
Blame your watch
for being late
as you wait
behind the locked gate
for your voice
to arrive.
Blame teachers
and students
and girls
in tight pants.
Blame them all
for the fall
of American skies.
Name the blame
Hillary and roll
her in dirt.
Everybody now
play the blame game
blame them
not me.
