When I microwaved my FRIEND, it brought me to tears; <br />it also brought to me a sentence of ten hard years. <br />I would have gotten more time in the slammer, but.... <br />I'm white, he was black, ....and we lived in Alabama. <br /> <br />No offense I mean to any members of another 'race'. <br />[That's just a cautionary message, to save my 'face'.] <br />If HE had microwaved ME, the tables would've been turned; <br />I'd have become a saint to the Klan, and he'd have been burned. <br /> <br />This silly AND serious, and totally made-up, tale.... <br />was started in my head by a note from a PH gal. <br />'Mandolyn' is also silly. I had asked her if she had any other friend. <br />'Are they ok to put in the microwave? ' was the note she did send. <br /> <br />(July 28,2014)<br /><br />Bri Edwards<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/southern-hospitality-in-years-gone-by-serious-and-silly-racial-prejudice-short-a-cautionary-tale/
