A WORD FROM OUR FEARLESS LEADER

by Gail White



Coronavirus Pandemic by Bill Day, Tallahassee, FL


Coronavirus crisis?
I don’t know what you mean.
We’ll stop it at the border.
We’ll find a new vaccine.

They loved me in New Delhi.
I didn’t wear a mask.
You’re safe with me to guide you.
Your health care? Please don’t ask.
