                           Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaask!

Three years ago I strolled into my fav café
The room grew quiet, and then a chorus did say:
Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaask!

In guilt and shame I put the forgotten object on
My sin of omission had been masked upon:
Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaask!

Two years ago I walked into that place
My now-remembered mask upon my face
Sneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer!

For politics had changed within a year
We don’t want no ****** masks in here
Sneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer!

This year between the mandates and the bans
Is it still okay if I wash my hands?
