deckardcanineWe get big meals at restaurants, where tips are sorely needed
And waiters get solicitous as soon as we are seated.
The listed prices lie; we have to calculate the tax.
Regardless of the weather, we have ACs at the max.
Our kids must pledge allegiance, tho they hardly understand.
We vote before we drink, and we have spray cheese in a can.
We censor nudes more avidly than violence on screens.
Our football gets priority for even high school teens.
We rarely think in metric, and our bills look too alike.
We’re big on motor vehicles and hardly care to bike.
I read all these complaints from those who visit the U.S.,
And I agree; these get a bit annoying in excess.
