The Un-American Y

I so hate the letter y

ugly like someone’s  ass

such a yucky letter

and it is also very

un-American.

 

Yin and Yang are un-American

the Yiddish are un-American

the yen is un-American

and the Yaqui are un-American.

 

any name that starts with Y

is obviously un-American.

 

I am un-American.

 

they say I am yellow.

yes, maybe I am yellow.

maybe that’s why

I am un-American,

because I am yellow.

 

you is un-American.

 

saying yes is un-American

you know what they say

at the schools for the young:

kids, always say no to

drugs, alcohol, and sex.

 

yesterday is un-American

we’re all about today

and today doesn’t start with y

it only ends with y

unlike yesterday

which starts and ends with y

that yucky y.

 

Yale is un-American and so are yachts

the Y-chromosome is un-American

yawns and years are un-American

but nothing is as un-American as

the Yankees.
