Party Hearty

This is on all those college students What don't they understand about the word 'PRUDENCE' An agreement they signed Name on the dotted line To social distance and wear a mask at parties and gatherings -- Don't ask 'Cos their word means nothing Not worth the paper it's written on They have neither integrity nor willpower, least of all self-respect And now their chance to learn on campus ~ Gone!

They think they are invincible, but maybe they will learn there are consequences (but then again, maybe not!)

They'll probably only learn the hard way, unfortunately. Experience is the best teacher, esp. for the young. (I know; it was the only way I learned, up to about age 25). :) gw

Methinks you're right. I was just reading a behavioral psychologist in the WSJ today who feels that people who don't wear masks do so because their social group doesn't; but if their social group reverses itself, they will too. I think he's spot on, just as you are, Kim. Thanks, Gershon
