Unmasked

The Mayo Clinic has a rule
For visitors which states
That everyone must wear a mask – 
Not open to debates.

Yet our V.P., when stopping by,
Felt he should be exempt.
For policies outside his realm,
He seems to have contempt.

Informed before his visit
Of the masking regulation
He defended his position
With a bogus explanation.

The White House sets the standards
Which serve only to incense
So we shouldn’t be surprised to see
Such disregard by Pence.

Why is it so hard for the people who make the rules to follow the rules? Good write, Ilene.

"Do NOT as I do, but as I say" is an historic example of doomed leadership. Thank you for reminding voters! Aloha! Rico

It's funny too when I watch them on tv behind Trump. I am pretty sure they are not standing six feet apart and they certainly have no masks on their face!!

I was shocked, frankly, by Pence's stance. He just doesn't seem like the 'rebel' type, does he? --- Seems he's gotten the message. Photo shows him wearing a mask at a GM plant yesterday... Good one, Ilene! :) gw
