Not a curse
Get vaccinated. Wear a mask.
Neither are difficult tasks.
Do it for yourself and your friends to see.
Show compassion and responsibility.
It’s not a trick and it’s not a shame.
Treat yourself and others the same.
Kindness and courtesy are not a curse.
Being sick or dead would be far worse.
Rise up now and do your part.
A mask and a shot are moral places to start.

COVET-19 Blues
The feeling that you get,
When someone you know is let
In line in front of you.
You are not a high risk dame
Or a gunsel of the same,
But it is a crime and shame, true.
You want to get the stick,
Feel the vaccine do its trick
And tell the virus, “Screw you.”
You’ve waited patiently,
A patient you don’t want to be —
It is worse than the flu.
Then this feeling you get — mean,
Some call it COVET-19,
Because a friend beat you through.
Hey, we’re of the same young age.
We ain’t old enough to be a sage—
So screw you, too.
You say it when no one’s there.
It’s a feeling that you dare not share,
This COVET-19 Blues.
