The Schock Od An Outsider

New Yorkers, in general, are very notorious 
for walking way too fast, not moderately:
it's seen as an unpleasant remark;
tourists keep think to themselves,
" They're funny! " It's a stereotype they mock,
" Do New Yorkers ever rush to Central Park? "

An outsider asked a stern policeman,
" Why is everybody running? "
" Is the  President coming? "
And the cop stared at him saying,
" You are an outsider, not so lean,
catch up to the marathon race:
they are rushing for the train:
they are going to their working place! " 
And the shocked red-neck with a freckled, 
peachy, round face grinningly replied,
" I never knew they raced like wild horses
to catch a train; we Southerners take our time,
and stress less, we play songs in our guitars
and drink lots of whiskey, we never walk a mile! "

How could the unamused officer take offence and contain his disdain...
when the naive dude offended every New Yorker? 
His reply was a shock to the poor guy on naproxen,
" Run like them before I throw you in jail, or take the Southern Border! " 

 Note: No pun is intended, it's only to spike up some humor!
