It Leadeth Me Not To Green Pastures

My mask doth not inspire
  It maketh me perspire

Restricts my respiration
  Foileth my aspirations  

Causeth naught but aggravation
  Leadeth me to consternation

Yes, and I'm selling that couplet for only $1,900 -- a discount of $69 over today's gold price. Want to get in on a terrific deal?!... lol. Thanks, Ilene. ~ Wheeler-Dealer

Funny how any situation can turn into a money spinner, designer masks to match your outfit, not cheap either, cant stand the damn things. If I wanted to wear a mask I'd have become a train robber lol Tom Cunningham and the hole in the soup gang.
