Out of the Bottle
When states start to follow the model
Of moving ahead at full throttle
Their cases will spike
And to stop them is like
Getting genies back into a bottle.
For to follow a long quarantine,
Seeing people just up on a screen,
Being out and about
Plants the seed of a doubt
We’re at risk ‘til they find a vaccine.
So to many, it’s too much to ask
That they distance and keep on a mask.
Oh, the future looks bleak
When we hear Fauci speak
Of the fools whom we should take to task.
