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.
