Fabulous Faubus

By Lynn White


Soon we’ll be there

back

to those days

when Faubus was fab

when Klansmen were cool

and swastikas were chic not shite.

 

We’d thought it sorted,

that That history had ended,

that never again would mean never again

and that Governor Faubus would stay ridiculous.

 

Two, four, six, four

just in time

for the encore.
