For The Obvious Of Reasons
'They have renamed an organization you founded.'
I am almost shocked.
'You are not bothered by that? '
Of course not.
They also renamed an entire street,
Where a famed theater company got its start.
Just to erase its history.
And those who first brought it acclaim.
'That's a shame.'
If I had a statue erected,
To attest to the contributions I have made...
My nose would be defaced.
'Why your nose? '
For the obvious of all reasons.
My ancestors are Egyptian.
'That is so funny.
You should be a comedian.'
Why you say that?
'For the obvious of reasons.'
