Hi Ho Hi Ho Off To Shot Land I Go

Hi ho hi ho it’s off to shot land I go!
I am happier than a pig in mud.
My smile is wide, I fairly glow.
I get the vaccine today. Hi ho hi ho!

There goes my sister, she is against the shot.
Just the sound of it makes her hot. hot. hot.
She thinks the vaccine is a political thing.
She will not get the shot, she will not, not, not.

The vaccine has torn my family apart.
I don’t care about that right now, I certainly do not.
I do not get into arguments or add to anyone’s hot.
Hi ho hi ho! I finally get my vaccine; it was so hard sought!

I am tickled to death to get the Covid-19 vaccine.
Whereas my cousin reports that disguises are seen
In southern Missouri where people are sneaking them
And begging others not to identify them.

The vaccine is a big deal in Missouri and Kansas too.
I imagine we will be wearing masks before we are through
I am getting the vaccine today, and I am tickled pink.
Whereas some are emotional about it, teetering on the brink.

Ilene Bauer Date: 8/4/2021 1:36:00 PM i'm glad to hear that you got vaccinated, caren! it's sad that this situation is tearing families apart but it's very hard for me to understand anyone's resistance at this point. i enjoyed your poetic rendition of the event!

L Milton Hankins Date: 8/4/2021 8:29:00 AM Good, good, Caren. I'm so happy you got the shot. Of course, you know, you have now been implanted with a secret chip that will track everything you do for the government, don't you? Such hogwash it is hilariously funny. I'm sorry for your sister and hope she doesn't get the COVID or Delta variant, which I hear is very hard on unvaccinated folks.
