Why

Daddy why are those cars backed up for miles
To get a test for Corona Virus in little vile

Mommy what are all those cars around the block
To get charitable food to place in their crock

Sister why are all those people standing in line
To save democracy and voting party line

Brother why are all those people screaming 
It just trump and Biden dreaming

Teacher why can’t I come to school
To jeopardize your health would be very cruel

Granny why can’t I come for Thanksgiving
Because the virus could stop me from living

Mr President why is the world gone mad
I haven’t a clue and that’s so bloody sad
