And Please Do Not Sneeze

I'm not much if from paper
  More substantial if cloth
Either way what I cover
  Can leave me quite wroth

So, inside me don't wheeze
  Neither slurp, nor drool
And please do not sneeze
  Don't play ME for a fool

I'm your CV mask --
  To keep me germ-free
  is your daily task --
Scrubbing hands is the key

Please wear me outside
  or if you go for a ride
on a bus, on a train or a plane ~
  But not when you shower
Unless you're wacked-out insane

G'day Gershon ... Yep! Can't leave the house here without wearing a mask. A bit of panic in Melbourne now, and rightly so - thanks Gershon - Lindsay

Hello Gershon wolf, To wear a m\sk is very important. It is a must. You can wash the mask to refresh it. Enjoy your day my friend.

How else am I to clean my mask? I guess I could swish it around in a bathtub.
