We have a poem here, it's called "Whitey On The Moon".
It was inspired by some whiteys on the moon,
So I wanna give credit where credit is due.

A rat done bit my sister Nell
With whitey on the moon,
Her face and arms began to swell,
And whitey's on the moon,
I can't pay no doctor bills,
But whitey's on the moon,
Ten years from now I'll be paying still
While whitey's on the moon.
The man just upped my rent last night
‘Cause whitey's on the moon,
No hot water, no toilets, no lights,
But whitey's on the moon
I wonder why he's upping me?
‘Cause whitey's on the moon?
Well, I was already giving him fifty a week
With whitey on the moon,
Taxes taking my whole damn check,
Junkies making me a nervous wreck,
The price of food is going up,
And as if all that shit wasn't enough:
A rat done bit my sister Nell
With whitey on the moon.
Her face and arm began to swell,
And whitey's on the moon,
Was all that money I made last year
For whitey on the moon?
How come I ain't got no money here?
Hmm! Whitey's on the moon,
Y'know I just 'bout had my fill
Of whitey on the moon,
I think I'll send these doctor bills
Airmail special
To whitey on the moon.
