Cops Unmasked
There are policemen in the subways
Who refuse to wear their masks.
Ironic, since enforcement
Of that rule’s among their tasks.
When a patron on the platform
Asked some cops if they’d obey,
They at first pretended that because
His mask was in the way…
They couldn’t hear him but, of course,
Somebody filmed the scene,
So everyone could see the cop
Was simply being mean.
What followed was much worse; that cop
And partner pushed the guy
Right through the exit with no
Legal explanation why.
With half the force unvaccinated,
Masks should be required
And those who won’t obey should be
Suspended, fined or fired.
