He’d always been a racist
“send em’ back home was his cry
they’re all from an inferior race

even in blizzards or snow

he fell fifty feet onto ice
he was warned not to climb that day
but he just ignored their advice

to mend his fractured skull
it was a delicate operation

into intensive care
whilst his wife with a tearstained face
sat sobbing in the hospital chair
when at last he was concious

to thank him for saving my life

then he saw to his consternation
that the brilliant surgeon was BLACK
