Shake Hands

Hey, shake hands with your new manager, Bill 
I would, sure, but I don't want to get killed
   Manager shot Bill dead
   Two bullets to his head
Social distancing's such a bitter pill

I however welcome social distancing - it is tough but with the help of all the wonderful friends we have on this web page, I feel I know you all - Gershon, all will come right, and this murderous thief in the dark will come to rest, we need our Greek mythological hero to cut off its head like he did to Medusa! Blessings and hugs, Jennifer.

Seems like for every case concluded, two more pop up, i.e., a multi-headed monster virus. Mitigate, mitigate,, and mitigate some more. That's my intention. Smiles, Gershon

or vice versa today, some would say,... considering shaking hands to be a sure invitation to the virus to strike... Take care, Sandra! :) gw

There you go --- your choice of death! Glad it's just a poem mostly. :) Gershon
