                       Just What Does "Hunker Down" Mean?

“We need to hunker down…”
-Dr. Fauci, quoted in NBC News, 10 September 2020

Doctor Fauci tells us to hunker down
And I really don’t know what that means
Can we hunker up instead, or maybe around
Or is it something naughty we do in our jeans?

And what exactly is that which we hunker -
A foot, a nose, a leg, a trouser seat
Is it something we do in a toilet or bunker
At home, at work, or in a busy street?

I don’t mean to sound even a little bit rude
But speaking of hunkering seems somewhat…crude
