Covid Mary

She was COVID Mary but she did not know. 
She went every darn place she wanted to go. 
She had no symptoms, cough, scratchy throat or clue... 
So she gave COVID to him, her, me and you. 

Wore no mask for that would take away her right, 
Her droplets landed on things in and out of sight. 
She would have been stunned at her selfishness 
If she had been wise enough to realize it killed all of us.

This is for my identical twin sister who listens to a FAUX news channel and thinks it is really NEWS.
