Guest Lists

When inviting some folks to your home,

Over guest lists you really should comb,

Crossing out those whose views 

Have made names in the news

Or you might wind up here in a poem.


So a bigot or one filled with hate

Should not find his name card on a plate,

Though, of course, it’s a choice 

To break bread and give voice

To whomever you think carries weight.


Still, expect to be hit with some flack

As your friendships come under attack.

If you’ve chosen to dine

With some snakes, show some spine

And admit that it’s savvy you lack.
