"Rightwingers say 'pink-haired liberals' are killing New York pizza"
—The Guardian, 29 June 2023
A plot, a plot, a plot's afoot;
These commies can't deny it.
They claim they want to cut down soot,
But patriots don't buy it!
Our ovens they will never take
And leave us in the lurch here.
Clean air's a ruse, a hoax, a fake—
We did our own research here!
