Anti-Diagonalism

We must be fastidious and particular,
our sidewalks, strictly perpendicular -
and we must sternly ask, who would be so crass
as to cut across our new mown grass.  
This despicable heathen can't be one of us. 
He can only be Pythugorus.

ah, life in the suburbs. We have some of those heathens you walk across our frewly mown grass...and let their dogs poop in our yard. Now that's crass! :-)
