Fools: a Rap

Every day it seems that we hear on the news

That someone else has a few loose screws:

Anti-vaxxers causing disruptions on our planes.

Trying to be obnoxious, they go to great pains.

Defying mask rules, they are picking fights,

Intimidating passengers and delaying flights.

Physically and verbally abusive, they don't care

If they cause disturbance on the ground or in the air.

 

Foolishly trying to assert their independence,

They spit at, and yell at, and curse at flight attendants,

Who must bear the burden of all the lunacy.

It also is a serious threat to you and me.

Recently, we've heard that a certain nutcase

Punched a flight attendant right in the face,

Knocking out two teeth! Another commandeered

The plane's PA system. Boy, was that weird!

 

Some unruly passengers have so turned up the heat

That they have had to be duct taped to their seat.

To spread misinformation about our vaccines,

Some of them resort to using any means.

Screeching and preaching, expressing their defiance

Of epidemiologists who rely on science,

Some of these crazies seem to be intent

On being as obnoxious as the former president.

 

It's so sad to see that we have come to this.

It makes a person wonder what has gone amiss.

Why do some people choose to reject

Behavior toward others that involves more respect?

Fools! They show a lack of common sense.

Fools are the ones who come to their defense.

Fools! I can't think of any other word--

Fools!--to describe behavior so absurd.

 

THEY'RE FOOLS!
