MERRY MERRY

MERRY MERRY

Twas the day before Christmas

And all through the states

Omicron spread exponentially

At an alarming rate

People are lining up

Just to get tested

Stores are out of stock

Demand has not crested

Everyone wants to know

Can we gather with friends and family?

Keep it small, get vaxed and boosted

Says Dr. Fauci

Still the experts say

There are no guarantees

That’s the way science works

It’s serendipity

The jolly old elf

Comes round once a year

We’re two years into pandemic

What is there to fear?

And I heard him exclaim

As he rode out of sight

“Get your shots, you fools

You know what is right!”
