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.
