Out of the Bottle

When states start to follow the model

Of moving ahead at full throttle

Their cases will spike

And to stop them is like

Getting genies back into a bottle.

For to follow a long quarantine,

Seeing people just up on a screen,

Being out and about

Plants the seed of a doubt

We’re at risk ‘til they find a vaccine.

So to many, it’s too much to ask

That they distance and keep on a mask.

Oh, the future looks bleak

When we hear Fauci speak

Of the fools whom we should take to task.
