Mask Off -- Surprise
My lifelong Love took off her mask
And much to my surprise
I didn't see what I expected
'Neath her pandemic disguise
Young and fair she was last March
Auburn tresses rich and thick
But when she unmasked this past week
Her hair was limp, her features sick
Concealing my disappointment
I summoned up my sensitivity
My dear, I said, Are you feeling well
In my voice, no hint of negativity
Yes, my darling, she nearly shouted
I'm happy as happy can be, for
From my biggest bugaboos in life --
Hair care and make-up ---
My mask has set me free!
