Guest Lists
When inviting some folks to your home,
Over guest lists you really should comb,
Crossing out those whose views
Have made waves in the news
Or you might end up here in a poem.
So a bigot or one filled with hate,
Should not find his name card on a plate,
Though, of course, it’s a choice
To break bread or give voice
To whomever you think carries weight.
Still, expect to be hit with some flack
As your friendships come under attack.
If you’ve chosen to dine
With some snakes, show some spine
And admit that it’s savvy you lack.
