A poem a day for 2013 - day 121 - The morning...show

Nephew Tommy, from The Steve Harvey Morning Show, prank called a Mexican-American man, Eduardo, on the air the other day and said he was a neighbor and wanted to know if he would come over to repair his roof 

Eduardo politely, at first, wanted to know how he got his name and number and explained that he was a loan officer at a bank and did not repair roofs

But do you cut grass? Was the question that followed

As Eduardo became more and more upset the comedian humiliated himself (and every other human) more and more

I thought all Mexicans cut grass

I'm just trying to give you some work

What are you getting so upset about

I could feel Eduardo's fire through the radio

But Tommy did not stop

Finally he revealed himself and Eduardo's "friend" who gave him the number

And now it is not funny

As if it ever was

Because who could call a man's home early morning

Disrespect him and his people for millions to hear

Then expect him to laugh

Because he was just joking

On

The

Air

Dear Steve Harvey...
