THE NUMBERS GAME

One at a time,
The rule is set;
Thus, U.S. deals with blacks.
With more than one,
Must back ye get;
We cannot deal with stacks.

One at a time,
Ye do no harm
Cavorting there onstage.
With more than one,
Ye loseth charm;
They then must turn the page.

One at a time,
Jack Johnson’s great;
His boxing thrills them all.
With more than one,
His choice of mate
Makes mighty egos fall.

One at a time,
Bill Robinson
May with Miss Shirley dance.
With more than one,
Bill Robinson
May just with Lena prance.

One at a time,
Bill Cosby’s fun;
A model in his role.
With more than one,
A rift’s begun;
That shakes body and soul.

One at a time,
Fair Lena sings;
In rhythm and in rhyme.
With more than one,
The joy she brings
“Keeps rainin’ all the time.”

One at a time,
Ol’ Sammy with
The Rat-Pack sees dawn crack.
With more than one,
And it’s no myth,
He enters from stage-back.

One at a time,
Judge Thomas frets;
The Coke can doth loom large.
With more than one,
With no regret,
Anita sails her barge.

One at a time,
O.J. was king;
Through airports did he soar.
With more than one,
A wedding ring
Lies still beneath the gore.

One at a time,
Oprah, Barak,
Arrive upon the scene.
With more than one,
The clock’s tick-tock
Will show you what I mean.
