Mandate

New York City workers

Must be vaccinated or

If they show up for work, they will

Be firmly shown the door.

 

I’m heartened by this mandate

And especially in schools.

It’s time to bid farewell to all

The anti-vaxxer fools.

 

We’ve all been pricked for smallpox,

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.
