A Refutation of the Malagasy Myth that Foreigners Fit Five Across
One vazaha*, two vazaha
three vazaha, four
can you fit in one vazaha more
without putting one on the floor?
One vazaha is comfy
he's got room to swing his arms
he can peer out the window
and work his subtle charms
Two vazaha are settled
and appreciate the company
they can conversate across the space
and sit without touching a knee
Three vazaha are getting toasty
but still have room to breathe
it's getting fairly close now
they're sitting sleeve to sleeve
Four vazaha are comfy cozy
each in his own way pressed
it's bordering on painful
everyone's a bit stressed
The Malagasy people claim
that five across is easy
but Americans aren't skinny
our hips weren't made for the squeezy
Five vazaha aren't pleased
now we all feel like crying
each smiles but is thinking
that five across is like dying
One vazaha, two vazaha
three vazaha, four
add that one vazaha more
and their falling out the door
*Foreigner
