                   Even So, Someone’s Got to Milk the Cows

           U.S. Covid-19 Cases Set to Triple Pre-Omicron Record

                          -Wall Street Journal, 10 January 2022

The pharmacies have no more Covid tests
The supermarkets no paper for the loo
The people feel that masks and jabs are jests
The government replays each Fauci-boo-boo

The Qanons tell us it’s just the ‘flu
The sheeple, they say, are easily led
Others that horse paste is the thing to do
The hospitals haven’t another bed

The cynics assure us we have nothing to dread
But some use their stimulus checks to bury their dead
