speedy boarding

we’re ready now for speedy boarding
the chosen few, the crowds applauding
falling back to let them through
the godlike ones who cannot queue
you’ll know them by their silver hats
their diamond rings and silk cravats
how wonderful to see them in
their chariots and palanquins

speedy boarding! speedy boarding!
wealth is great and so rewarding
should we stop awhile and bless
these tortured souls in such distress?
wave a press’d and perfum’d glove
above the stress’d who queue and shove?
to heal their woes? oh, please let’s do it!
(but the gate is free so let’s go through it)
