[High Praise! to Oppo]

(A parody of “The Road Not Taken“)

Tourette’s emerged in a yell — or would,
And, sorry I could not stifle oaths,
H-2B travelers, long have stood
Looked down upon unfairly, although they’re good.
Compared to illegals in the undergrowth,

The illegal others — unjust, unfair, —
Having by definition a lesser claim.
Because de Blasio wanted fame and Cher,
(Though as for that, the press don’t care
It’s boring and really about the same),

And both, conforming, jobs displaced
And found lives do matter — but only black.
A precept: the former should have their pay
(Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubt if the latter will ever go back).

We shall be all telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two types emerged as our country died —
We embraced the ones less civilized
And that has made all the difference.
