Fashion Statements

We wash our hands twenty times a day Singing Happy Birthday twice, all the way Scrub down our whole home Don gloves when we roam Hoard TP in all colors except gray... But now that's passe, it's masks we must wear Some are elegant, though what do we care Our fam'ly looks cool At work and at school My wife even gets wolf whistles and stares

They had better start distributing an effective vaccine soon. I am sick of living this way.

I love the part about hoarding toilet paper in all colors except gray. It gave me a little chuckle. This whole Covid-19 thing is so strange.

I probably should have written 'Every color except brown,' -- but that's just too disgusting, even for me! :) gw

“Wolf whistles” a pun on your name right? A fun read.
