When I go to the US, my husband often gets through the non US citizen
line quicker than I get through the citizen line. Lately I've been
queuing with him, because they always want both of us to show that
form that is "one per family".

He must be lucky enough to get to the front of the line quickly. It's
never happened once to me when I've gone with my partner. The last 3 or
4 years, it's taken on average an hour for me to get through US
immigration, either in Boston or NYC.

There was a young fellow from Crockett
whose dog took a **** in the socket
he let out a howl,
a bow-wow, a YE_OWW
and took off like the arc of a rocket

Maybe on planes coming from Italy a larger proportion of the
passengers are US citizens.

That's quite possible (my flights have been from UK, France, Germany and
the the Netherlands mostly), but there's also the set up. It takes a lot
less time to process a US citizen than someone else. As a very
unscientific guess, I'd say a third less- especially since all the
finger print/photo stuff started. Usually at NYC airports and Boston,
there are always at least as many windows for US citizens than
foreigners- frequently more- so the US citizens get processed much
quicker, and then their windows 'revert' to processing non-citizens.

Better version:

There was a young beagle from Crockett
who one day took a **** in a socket, etc.

At JFK, there seem to be fewer windows for US citizens than for
foreigners, as would make sense, depending on the proportion of
travellers who are foreigners.
