First they came for the blacks
And I said, “The ones my stepdaughters are dating?”
And they said, “No,” so I didn’t care all that much.
Then they came for the Jews
And I said, “My lawyer?”
And they said, “No, not your lawyer,” so I was fine with that.
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I said, “What’s a trade unionist?”
And they tried to explain it, but I was thinking about lunch.
They they came for the transgenders
And I was like, “Hey now!”
And they said, “You honestly didn’t see this coming?”
And I said, “HE HELD UP A FLAG!”
This is not on me.
Isn’t that prose?
Blank verse
