The most popular apparel
If anyone were to ask
Would probably have to be
The indispensable mask!
Whether you from others
Or others from you
It protects like an angel
Is mandatory whatever you do …
Even attending a wedding
Then posing without mask
Can invite exemplary fines
If judges take you to task!
Debtors pass by creditors
Boldly without a trace
It is no longer discreditable
To cover & hide your face
There was no right to be seen
Only a right to be heard
The mask has fitted in nicely
In bringing immunity to the herd
Without clinics and parlours
It’s utility has increased ample
From blocking bad breath
To hiding that boiling pimple!
Dissenting voices are saying
The mask is an unsafe bloke
If you go for a run with him
He can make you gasp & choke
Those who pretend to know
And attempt to appear wiser
Are saying forsake the mask
And be loyal only to sanitizer
But can one risk a sneeze
And being taken to task?
So I guess it’s safe to assume
We’ll be living with the mask …
