A Song For Elizabeth Warren

(apologies to Paul Revere)

My CV couldn’t get any traction
‘Til I checked the “Minority” faction
Sure I may look like Wonder Bread
But my soul’s 1/32 Red

I wasn’t asked to justify that when
Harvard hired me away from Penn
Oh it may look like fraud or worse
But so what? I made them more diverse

Cherokee Professor, picked by Laurence Tribe
So proud to game, so proud to lie

They’ve made an issue of my self-selection
(Like “honor” counts in a close election!)
“Identity” is important when you’re
A suburban white gal who is up for tenure

Cherokee Professor, picked by Laurence Tribe
So proud to game, so proud to lie

    I give it a 95. It had a nice beat and was easy to dance to.

    And thanks for the Paul Revere and the Raiders setting on the Wayback Machine!
