One-Man Parade

He parades down the street
  to his own unique beat
Oblivious to others
  He'll have his druthers

Unabashed, strangers stare
  As if he could care
Some yell death threats
  He has yet to sweat

Who is this eccentric
And what is his crime
  By now have you guessed ~
  He's the last man with no mask

Congratulations on your win. Sooooo cute. Remember the day when masks were for only bank robbers???? A customer was going into the store when they cussed me out at the door of a store. Why??? Because I was putting on my mask and did not have it on in the parking lot. Really????? Have a blessed day with your win.............
