Self-help books typically help
sort seaweed from kelp
but those not obtuse

There once was an unhappy man
who joined the Ku Klux Klan
there he burned

so the clan shipped him off to Japan!

There was once a girl from Guwahati
who was indeed very, very arty
she had great taste
and a fabulous waist
so sad she didn’t like to party

who was looking for a panacea

who wore a tight pink turban

There once was a man, Damien Lord
who sat around thinking and felt so bored
he went to see a special quack

There once was a fool named Chases
who said he really wasn’t racist
in fact some of his best friends
were blacks and blends –
he even met them in public places!
