Manspread
A scourge on subways is the guy
Whose legs are widely splayed
So those who want to sit won’t try –
They’re shy or just afraid.
His manspread takes two seats at least
As if it is his right,
Though others think this selfish beast
Is more than impolite.
The MTA*’s creating ads
To focus on these guys,
Though likely such obnoxious cads
Will never compromise.
I wish I had the kind of nerve
To challenge such a man
And give him what he does deserve –
A kick right in the can!
