Waiting for the Vaccine

I’m waiting to get the vaccine

But the info I’ve managed to glean

Tells me I am too young

To be counted among

Those who’ll pass the requirement screen.

 

Of course health care employees go first

With the rest of the shots then dispersed

To those residents of

Nursing homes, hand in glove

With wherever the germs are immersed.

 

Distribution’s a problem because

People fear that the shot has its flaws

So some outright refuse

Causing others to lose

Opportunities stopped by the laws.

 

In the meantime, the virus will spread

With more joining the list of the dead.

If we roll up our sleeves

There will be some reprieves

But we’re waiting for full steam ahead.
