Tomahawk Chop

Every October, when a Georgia racist’s 
     thoughts turn themselves towards the 
          Major League Baseball Playoffs in Atlanta, 
               and that sell-out crowd 41,500 fans drive their 
          team to rally, with a rousing Tomahawk Chop, 
     and a boisterous sing-a-long of Pow Wow the Indian Boy*, 
what I root for is everyone in the stands to swiftly			
     and mysteriously come down with 41,500 cases of terminal 
          small pox, embedded in all the free rally towels, 
     donated courtesy of the recompense of God.
