Just Wear the Stupid Mask, Okay?

Tiresome, didactic doggerel, but it’s important tiresome, didactic doggerel

Just wear the stupid mask, okay?
Yeah, yeah, we know you’re not afraid
Of any ol’ virus that comes your way
(Says your cousin the almost-nurses’ aide)

And someone on the GossipNet
He said that some doctor somewhere
Said Studies Show (oh, yeah, you bet) 1
That masks let through all sorts of air

Yeah, stud, you’ll take that virus down
Ground it with just one wrestling toss
And run its tentacles out of town:
You’ll show that bug just who is boss!

But

Your Granny’s still weak after surgery
And Uncle’s always short of breath
And children – you wouldn’t want, you see
To let your ego cause a baby’s death



1 Because, like, you know, Studies Show, and who are we to argue with such a reliable source as Studies Show?

It is important doggerel.

Indeed!

I look goofy in a mask, but then, I look goofy anyway!

Life is good.
