"Freedom of speech has nary a booster:
Not at The Atlantic nor Simon & Schuster.
The New York Times will bellow and bleat,
And the silence will echo down Mulberry Street.
"No, this won't do, this won't do at all --
This won't do, these minds so small!
If they see just one word that they deem indiscreet
They'll melt into puddles on old Mulberry Street. ...
"An intelligent book
Deserves someone to read it.
A book that starts fights?
We desperately need it.
An unpopular view?
The campus should hear it.
But both teachers and students
Are afraid to go near it.
They cling to their wubbies
And bury their faces.
Away with you ninnies --
Back to your safe spaces!
"Go back to TikTok or stay home and tweet.
You don't deserve to see Mulberry Street."
