When I say, Eeny, Meanie, Miney, Moe, You know what follows, Today's children don't know. Should we be shamed, Though blameless, Called racist and supremacist. I learned those words long after the rhyme, Losing innocence with time. Can I still call you Whitey If my skin is... Well, different from Whitey's. I'd be stupid To catch a tiger By the toe; PETA would skin me.
