Excellent
Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted
not all of us vote on its use

The word

by astyanax


It has been in rote
With a load to tote
Like misfortune over which they gloat
A word used by the petticoats
Which only meaning to demote
Those chained in the boats
A word that bloats
To belittle into shoats
Hits like the whip of a knout
Strangling a man by a garrote

As to cut the throat
Desperate need of an antidote
It came afloat
Without the whole race vote
Sowing their wild oats
Became adopted by some brotes
Throwing a bridge over the moat
To change its emotes
Covered in silks and stoats
Try to have the "N" word truth remote

In lyrics wrote
And sung by the sansculottes
And had it promote
Casual use of it as anecdote
To raise rhymes on sour notes
The same hammer that had them smote
Not realizing waxing the scrotes
Matter not how hard it is to frote
Makes no difference who's having its quote unquote
Separates the sheeps from the goats
