MASKS

 

Need a mask?

order on line

now there are more masks

than ever before

all colors

all varieties

some clear

some opaque

they have become

a fashion statement

have one for every day of the week

for every occasion

now you can hold up convenience stores

without any problem at all

who was that masked man?

it could have been your Rabbi

your Doctor

your ex-Husband

you don't know because

everyone is now masked

masks mask

our identity

our feelings

our thought's

there is no telling

what people are thinking anymore

everyone is masked

will conversation die

will kisses become obsolete

we need to consider these important issues

before we mask more

remember

masks are now mandatory

and anyone without a mask

will be imprisoned

let's face it

we are doomed to mask

but what goes on behind the mask

is between you and the mask.

I think you read my mind, I just ordered some masks online, who would have thought there was so much choice. I must admit I am not looking forward to wearing one. We have spent years telling people not to wear hoodies, helmets and face coverings and now we are encouraging it..... but if it helps to save lives it is small price to pay.

Why you ask
should we now mask?
an ugly task
rules won't relax
for all I care
throw in the trash
I must admit
on masks I'm lax.
