Your mouth’s been silenced
but your mask has ears

There’s a warning in yellow
to reinforce your fears.

They’re saying it is social
to keep your distance

Keep left of the line
they’ve given an instance.

I’m in a box behind a
a hole with strings

Barre chorded by Satan
lest my voice take wings.

Gagged and choked
I can’t croak about Covid

My Capo’s too tight
but my F is still avid.

If only someone would
give me a strummmmm

Though way out of tune
I can hum in my drum.

We’ve had WMD’s and
and what that evokes

You need to recall
that it was a hoax.

Sometimes I’m thinking
you’ve all got Alzheimers

We’ve duped many times
but no one remembers.

The world’s in a state
because of minds that are numb

Hollywood your Nice Day
eat pop-corn with the dumb.
