Dinner Guest: Me
I know I am
The Negro Problem
Being wined and dined,
Answering the usual questions
That e to white mind
Which seeks demurely
To Probe in polite way
The why and wherewithal
Of darkness U.S.A.--
W how things got this way
In current democratiight,
Murmurily
Over fraises du bois,
"Im so ashamed of being white."
The lobster is delicious,
The wine divine,
Aer of attention
At the damask table, mine.
To be a Problem on
Park Ave eight
Is not so bad.
Solutions to the Problem,
Of course, wait.
Langston Hughes
