Anti-Maskers
I think that I can guarantee
That many who remain mask-free
Make others who are rules-obsessed
Both furious and super-stressed
And wishing they could find a way
To make uncovered faces pay
For those whose nose and mouth are bare
Are thus proclaiming, “I don’t care!”
The maskers of the world retain
Their diligence, perhaps in vain
Unless vaccines will set them free;
I hope that there’s a dose for me!
(a parody of "Trees" by Joyce Kilmer
for the contest of L Milton Hankins)
