Wear a Mask!
Posted: July 11, 2020
A pandemic plea for courtesy…

Editor's note: As a resurgence in COVID-19 cases highlighted the July 4 weekend, it struck me how poorly many Americans understand the concept of freedom stated so eloquently in the Declaration of Independence. I was tempted to write a piece reflecting the position demonstrated by too many that we aslo have the freedom to be stupid and selfish. Instead, I'll let Greg say what I was thinking. Thank you, Greg!—Stu Johnson, editor
Wear a mask
to hide your face.
In addition, give me space.
When you're out in public,
keep your distance.
Cover up.
Yes, I know
you don't like rules.
You're thinking rules
are made for fools.
But your defiance is a clue
that is what you are.
Doggone it!
Hide your mouth and nose.
Make some friends
instead of foes.
Mask and stand
six feet away
for my health
and yours.
