Sadly, this snark-fest is the most relevant poem of mine that I can find at the moment. I'll keep looking.

Some of My Best Friends

My closest, dearest friends don’t know
how much they really mean
to me. They'd see I love them so,
if they could read my screen.

We’ve never gathered after work.
We’ve never gone to lunch.
But when I flame some online jerk,
I dearly love that bunch.

I feel compelled do my part
to pour forth like a spigot
about the friendship in my heart,
when someone's called me "bigot."

It’s funny that I don’t have more
Black buddies. (I’m so nice!)
The few I have, though, I adore
enough to count them twice.


Found it!

Why We Still Need Black History Month

The only month
     we ever raise
this subject has
     the fewest days.
