Where In the World Did My Free Covid Tests Go

(Sung to the tune of "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?")

Well, when Biden said that we could get some Covid tests delivered
We ran right to our computer and we filled out all the forms.
Got a confirmation number so my heart strings really quivered…
Tell me – where in the world did my free Covid tests go?

Days went past and I heard rumors there were tracking numbers given
So I checked my email daily but I didn’t have much luck
And I wondered where those packages with Covid tests were driven…
Tell me – where in the world did my free Covid tests go?

There were some not believin’ that we’d be receivin’
Those tests that the government told us were free!

I began to ask around to each acquaintance or connection
But nobody that I know got any test kits in the mail.
Everybody started feeling both annoyance and dejection…
Tell me – where in the world did my free Covid tests go?

There were many not trustin’ the P.O. was bustin’
Its backside to get out those tests – even me!

Maybe if and when the test kits got on trucks and started rollin’
Somehow word got out and there were some with devious intent.
It would not be very hard for those test kits to be stolen…
Tell me – where in the world did my free Covid tests go?

Where in the world did my free Covid tests go? (Repeat)

I ordered mine 4 weeks ago on the govt. site and got the tests on Saturday the 12th. Can’t say about anyone else. John

i will have to check out that tune on youtube... with your uncanny mastery of poetic meter and cadence i am not surprised you would be able to seamlessly create new lyrics to an existing tune...i'm still waiting for mine in the mail - good thing i don't have an urgent need for them.

Your 'free' Covid tests didn't go anywhere. There is no such thing as a 'Free' Covid Test. They each cost lots of money. Lots. And you know who pays for them? You and I, the taxpayers, do. Only in Biden's Fantasy World are they 'free.' Adults know that there is never anything that's free. Someone always pays. Please fact-check this out, ilene, and you'll see that I'm right, and that this country is wasting millions, if not billions, on unnecessary, expensive covid testing! ~ Just sayin,' gw .

The USPS is still delivering mails posted during WWII, so please don't hold your breath! Aloha!
