Covered
I don’t go into any stores
But heard that when I do
A mask may not be good enough,
Alas, to walk on through.
I’ll need a pair of Nitrile gloves
Before I head inside.
Without them, gaining entry
Might quite simply be denied.
Obediently, I perused
Varieties on screen
In blue or black or purple –
You must know the ones I mean.
The prices varied, not a one
With shipping that was free,
Yet that’s the way things go if I want
Gloves they’ll send to me.
The order’s placed and though the timing
Isn’t opportune,
I might be somewhat braver when
They get to me in June.
