he kept his eyes closed
daydreaming of Milee Cyrus...

Iris blue eyes that bright, azure beams strow
Lilly white neck with a radiant, translucent glow
Rosy cheeks blanching cotton swabs of milky snow
Viola black hair coiffed; silky strands strung in a tidy row
Magnolia-crescented bosom with a soft, silty furrow
Camellia-shaped paps that with sweet nectar flow
Butterfly Orchid legs; slender willows with tawny curves that billow
Anemone-cupped hands with graceful seams that her dignity doth sow...

New York City workers
Must be vaccinated or
If they show up for work, they will
Be firmly shown the door.

And especially in schools.

For measles and the mumps
And whooping cough and polio
(And sometimes on our rumps!)

So suck it up and take the shot,
Those missing jabs and swabs,
For you’ll be safer and, of course,
You’ll get to keep your jobs....
