Thoughts On The Border Stake-Out

by Tony Peyser

The Aryan Nation has said
One reason that they went
Is because they regard this
As a “white pride event.”

This isn’t something pleasant
That reasonable folks embrace
It’s not about security
But certainly is about race.

I don’t know exactly who
Gives these vigilantes orders
But how come don’t they want
To protect our Northern borders?

I never was any good at math
But I figured out this equation:
Mexicans down South are brown
But Canadians are Caucasian.
