The New Yorker

Reading The New Yorker
Requires lots of time;
If sometimes you don’t finish,
You’re my partner in this crime.

The articles are lengthy,
Demanding of attention;
The editors, I do believe,
Should do an intervention.

The cartoons are so clever,
And most of them I get;
The poems I don’t understand
And nor do you, I’ll bet.

I’m often several weeks behind,
But that’s okay with me;
Just the fact that I subscribe
Gives me a pedigree.

For reading The New Yorker
Gives you automatic class;
So come on, New York Magazine –
‘Cause we can kick your ass!
