To Wear a Mask That Is the Question

To wear or not wear a mask that is the question  found poems 

To wear or not wear a mask
Is the question
That bedevils the world
From Brazil to the White House
Ohio and Texas

The call has gone out
Wearing a mask 
Means you are a liberal weak sissy man
Or woman Listening to the government’s propaganda 
Real American patriots 
don’t need to wear a damn mask 

Cough cough cough 
Nothing but a cold
It is nothing serious at all 

. Well, not in Ft. Bend County. 
We will not trample on the individual rights 
of Texans to provide
 a false sense of security.

Cough cough cough 
Nothing but a cold
It is nothing serious at all 

 I have 826 staff at the Ft. Bend Sheriff’s Office.
 We interact with the public daily.
 In 3 months, I’ve had just 2 officers test positive. 

I have over 800 inmates
 and staff in the jail 
and not a single positive test. 
NOT ONE.

Cough cough cough 
Nothing but a cold
It is nothing serious at all 

 No one’s been hospitalized. 
Except in Houston and other 
Godless cities

Cough cough cough 
Nothing but a cold
It is nothing serious at all 

Here in FT Bend
The blood of Jesus 
Will protect 
The good christians 

Cough cough cough 
Nothing but a cold
It is nothing serious at all 

Only non-Christian heathens
Are catching the *********** 

Cough cough cough 
Nothing but a cold
It is nothing serious at all 

I encourage people to wear a mask
 if they have one, 
I encourage people 
to wash their hands frequently,

Cough cough cough 
Nothing but a cold
It is nothing serious at all 

 I encourage people to do
 the right thing to help 
protect our most vulnerable, 

But wearing a mask
That is a step too far
