Lo Long, Roseanne!

So "Roseanne" is off the air;

ABC has cancelled the show.

Hats off to the company

For its decision. Way to go!

 

After recent NFL

Corporate cowardice, people wonder

Whether the TV station would

Fail to act and therefore blunder.

Sadly, many people now

Are out of a job because of Roseanne.

(Although the show was popular,

I must admit, I wasn't a fan.)

 

People tweet many things,

Often vulgar or asinine,

But this time the comedienne

Has unashamedly crossed the line.

 

Writing that an African-American

Woman was a cross between

Muslims and apes, Barr has shown

That her attacks are far beyond mean.

 

Once aware of the repercussions,

Roseanne Barr came out with the claim

That Ambien had made her do it--

Yes, Ambien was to blame.

 

The manufacturer of Ambien

Has responded with a shrug:

Racism is not a known

Side effect of the drug.
