The people grumbled, and complained, and whined,
They kept demanding justice be observed:
"For hours, we’ve been standing in this line,
While those who came up later have been served."

It was explained to them, with motives purest:
"Dear friends! Please leave, and don’t clog up our queue.
Those who are eating, those are foreign tourists.
Whereas - forgive me - who the hell are you?"

But people grumbled, and complained, and whined,
They kept demanding justice be observed:
"For hours, we’ve been standing in this line,
While those who came up later have been served."

The manager, again, was very tender:
"Dear friends! I’m begging you, please think this through.
Those who are eating, those are council members.
Whereas - forgive me - who the hell are you?"

Still, people grumbled, and complained, and whined,
And kept demanding justice be observed:
"For hours, we’ve been standing in this line,
While those who came up later have been served."
