When Death Can Take It Easy.





Coronavirus cases in the U.S. rose to another single-day high as the nation entered a Fourth of July weekend marked by restrictions on many activities and warnings to maintain social-distancing practices.
(Washington Post)


The Great Perhaps awaits us all/as certain as a coming squall/But when we hurry it along/by doing things so very wrong/then Death can take it easy, for/we do perform his ev'ry chore/We won't wear masks; we congregate/We eat off one another's plate/We sneeze and spit and subsidize/sly quacks with their moronic lies/The Reaper Grim is free to roam/while we build our own catacomb/And with our current president/Death a ski chalet can rent/and spend his time upon the slopes/while mankind acts like headstrong dopes.
