EL Chapo Comes to San Francisco
by
Donal Mahoney

OlÃ©! OlÃ©!
shouts El Chapo,
prison escapee

on the lam from Mexico,
riding a burro
to San Francisco,

that sanctuary city
by the Bay, where
the local gendarmes

are free to let him go
and drive a food truck
and sell tacos,

heroin and cocaine
until Congress decides
illegal immigrants are on

a path to citizenship
which could happen
unless The Donald,

our new John Wayne,
locks up El Chapo and
shouts OlÃ©! OlÃ©!
