To Mask Or Not To Mask

To mask or not to mask
  that is the question
Forsooth, verily, indeed
  O, Oracle, specify the need

~ Those of little faith
      the mask-less path betrayeth
    Like the noble Launcelot
      obtain thy vaccination shot! ~

Yonder cometh the variant virus
  just when we be most desirous
Of living life once more to fullest
  ~ Alas, your mask's 
                   no longer pullest ~

A droopy mask is like droopy drawers, i.e., the thrust has gone . . . .
