I wear a mask for reasons of a great variety, not just to contain the spread of corona virus COVID19, but also because I retired recently, and I no longer groom myself as I had previously. I rarely shave since this new found lazy, which results in a not so aesthetic yours truly, but whenever I do need to venture outdoors occasionally, I just slip on my mask and do so freely, and not feel self conscious at all about my appearance with anybody, besides which, I'm a fun guy, TheKidster, Billy, and ever since this outbreak of COVID19, every single day for me has felt like halloween.

Hmm Billy.. That Halloween scene.' Said Hallo and many fell, under it's spell of horror At home, theories became sacrosanct lives Were a currency.' Reality deemed insanity.. Or should that be the other way round? Fear Was thrown around, yet cheer was rationed Severely.!
