Attention Smokers
Attention smokers – come on down!
We’ve got vaccines for you!
Just push those older folk aside
And front-line workers, too.
Like cancer patients, you deserve
To jump the Pfizer lines;
Ignore those teachers waiting,
With their “We should come first” whines.
So what if you brought on yourselves
The damage to your lungs?
You need the shots because of it –
Ignore those wagging tongues.
Please thank New Jersey’s leader
For he’s moved you up the list
Despite so many left behind
Who are, quite rightly, pissed.
