Social Distance
At the government’s insistence
We must keep our social distance.
Walk outdoors and cross the street
If someone’s closer than six feet.
Stores control who goes inside
So they’re not over-occupied.
Bars and restaurants have closed
Because of contact risks they posed.
Not all people heed the rules
For nothing can convince the fools.
Case in point – observe the clump
Of stone-faced folks in back of Trump.*
*This happens at all of his press conferences,
unlike those of New York’s Governor Cuomo,
who observes social distancing, even on stage.
