Default bourgeoisie basket cases

You don’t have to be stark raving mad
To be considered a lunatic
All it takes is that slight inappropriateness
Espousing Marxism
With too much vigor
At a Republican gathering
Staring too long
An attempted smile
Waning on initiation
Or mental confusion
On trivial subjects
These social sins
Egg on the predator within
Their cannibal appetites
Whetted by weakness
As the feeding frenzy commences
Veiled as enforcing etiquette
A cultural cleansing
Of Victorian Proportions
By bourgeoisie basket cases

Judih, it doesn't take much to seem askew. The social niceties must be observed at all times. The impresarios of etiquette have laid down the rules. Ours is not to question why.
