Takedown From the Stage
In the theater, Ms. Patti LuPone
Asked some patrons, who’d certainly known,
To adjust what did look
Like not quite by-the-book
Masks on faces so noses weren’t shown.
They refused so she told them to go,
Using language which all of us know.
They did angrily say,
“We your paycheck do pay!”
Her response made my praise for her grow.
Let all those who can’t follow the rules
Be called out when they’re acting like tools.
In the theater that means
One of Broadway’s top queens
May expose them for what they are - fools!
