                                  An Asymptomatic Sinner

I burned a television set today
Which was a rewarding experience
A bonfire of the vanities indeed
Burn, you 140 channels, burn!

I am in quarantine, ‘though symptom-free
And there was an old television around
And so I burned it. And I’m glad, ha-ha!
Tomorrow I will rake the ashes for its guts

While in quarantine, waiting for my test -
A burning television is a merry jest!
