The Hostess
The hostess asked to see their proof
That they’d received vaccines,
For New York law requires it
In their pre-seating screens.
The women, Texas tourists,
In a mean, entitled rage,
Thought that violent behavior
Was the best way to engage.
The three attacked the hostess,
In a frenzy, caught on tape,
And without some intervention,
She’d have not made her escape.
The police were called, arrests were made;
They’ll have to show in court,
But outrage was the one response
Each newscast did report.
To dine indoors, obey the rules;
For anyone who won’t,
The penalty should be so stiff
It might stop those who don’t.
