This is a little late but it deserves a post. Dear Jack is a funny poem from Prairie Band Potawatomi author Larry Mitchell. Visit his Native Blog when you get a chance!

Dear Jack
Hello! My tribe just bought some land in Illinois
We sure could have used your lobbying
To get us a casino
    Just sixty miles from Chicago!
My tribe would have gave you a few million
They wouldn’t have cared if you called them names!
Hell, down in Kansas they call us
    ‘prairie niggers' anyway
So your names would not have hurt us!
‘cos we sure could have used your lobbying
To get us a casino
    Just sixty miles from Chicago!
