Notes About The Poem

Better to err on the side of caution

 

To Mask Or Not

To Mask or Not
By Franklin Price

To mask or not, what should you do?
The experts say, it's up to you
Most likely should, and they may too
Because there's COVID in the spew

Ambiguity is what I hear
Message, to us, not very clear
I say, wear one, when you appear
Works better now than on your bier

And when it comes to push and shove
If you care for, the ones you love
Pray for us all, to God above
On face, a mask, each hand, a glove

Hello Franklin Price, face mask are hard to come by. They are nowhere to be found. One wonders what to do. When no face mask are not to be found. Be safe. Enjoy your evening my friend.

Nice plug for masks -- without employing a 'hammer.' Thanks, Franklin. :) gw
