Un-American Investigators

The committee's fat,
Smug, almost secure 
Co-religionists 
Shiver with delight 
In warm manure 
As those investigated— 
Too brave to name a name—
Have pseudonyms revealed 
In Gentile game
     Of who,
     Born Jew,
     Is who?
Is not your name Lipshitz?
     Yes.
Did you not change it 
For subversive purposes? 
     No.
For nefarious gain? 
     Not so.
Are you sure?
The committee shivers
With delight in
Its manure.
