This is a joke on Dr. Seuss' I am Not Going to Get Up Today!
You don't have a ticket.
So go away!
You WON'T get through security today!

I don't care if they are getting through
in any foreign town.
In this country, you WILL NOT get through,
so please back down!

All around the world they're getting through.
And that's okay with me.
Let the friends get through in Switzerland,
or Australia, 'cross the sea.

Let the friends get through in Italy.
Let the friends get through in Spain.
Let them get through in New Brunswick
where the flights go down to Maine.
Let the friends get through in London
and in Paris and Berlin.
Let them get through all they want to,
but there's no way you'll get in.

You'll never go in
with a Strawberry Flip.
You'll never go in
with a Chocolate Dip
or a Pineapple Apricot Upside-Down Cake!
Our tongues obey laws.
And NOT rules you make.

Nothing will get you in today,
no idea in your head.
You'll only waste your money
if you guarantee us bread!

That's why we say,
"Please go away!
You WON'T get through security today!"
