JUST FOUR WALLS
Just four walls protect me
From the cold wintery winds.
Just four walls shade me
From the blistering sun;
Just four walls keep me dry
From cold, wet rain and snow.
No matter what kind
of weather,
No matter the size
of our shelter,
Be thankful to have a home.
Simple or Elaborate
One room or ten.
Stay warm.
Stay cool.
Stay dry.
Stay hydrated.
Stay well.
Stay HOME!
Don’t catch the Coronavirus.
THE MASK
The outlaw of the old west
Wore a mask to conceal his identity
When committing a robbery
Or other crime.
He needed a swift get away
With no one knowing who to blame.
Plain black with openings for the eyes
Or a stockinged covered face,
These masks were functional,
Assuring the culprit remain unknown,
Perhaps a bandana was used
To cover the identity of the
Guilty criminal offender.
The masks of 2020 are designed to stop the spread of the Coronavirus,
And hopefully, prevent a potential deadly illness,
They also can be both functional and match what you are wearing,
Keeping you right in style.
Masks of 2020 come in all sorts of colors, patterns
and themes
Convincing the wearer that it’s
Actually fun to wear a mask
Maybe you can’t talk clearly
Or breathe very well,
But your spirits will be upbeat
Making one feel just swell!!!!!
