A pandemic plea for courtesy

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.
