Or be a germaphobe
To be on guard when
a pandemic
Spreads around the
globe.
Erring on the side
of caution
Makes a lot of
sense.
The benefits of wise
and prudent
Behavior are
immense.
So, don’t put your
mask away;
Put it to excellent
use.
You don’t like the
way it feels?
That’s a poor
excuse.
If you're asked to
wear a mask,
Don't raise holy
hell.
Wearing a mask could
save your life
And other lives as
well.
For certain
inexplicable reasons
Some people are
loath
To do something that
might prevent
The exponential
growth
Of COVID-19, a nasty
virus
That hasn't left the
scene.
It would be nice not
to have to
Self-quarantine.
So, don’t put your
mask away;
Put it to excellent
use.
You don’t like the
way it feels?
That’s a poor
excuse.
If you're asked to
wear a mask,
Don't raise holy
hell.
Wearing a mask could
save your life
And other lives as
well.
Someday we can look
forward to
Not having to wear
A mask that covers
our nose and mouth
And seems to cut off
our air.
For now, let's all
cooperate,
And please do not
revile
A practice,
which--though not so fun--
Is certainly worth
our while.
So, don’t put your
mask away;
Put it to excellent
use.
You don’t like the
way it feels?
That’s a poor
excuse.
If you're asked to
wear a mask,
Don't raise holy
hell.
Wearing a mask could
save your life
And other lives as
well.
