Day 1198, A Song for May Day

 

Chorus:

Mayday!  Mayday!

The country’s going down.

The virus lurks; we’re out of work,

And Donald wears the crown.

Mayday!  Mayday!

With death tolls on the rise,

Trump’s in command but understand,

He can’t fix this with lies.

 

It seems like only yesterday

We sunbathed on the beach

Or crowded into church to pray

And hear our preachers preach.

But now the COVID 19

Has put all that out of reach.

Until we get a vaccine,

Trump says, try injecting bleach. 

Chorus:  Mayday!  Mayday!…

 

Though COVID deaths do not decrease,

We’ll open up again.

Our experts say deaths will increase

But they’re just mortal men.

Though libertarians defy

The orders to stay in,

Though, “Give me liberty!” they cry,

Bet on, “Give me death!” to win.

 

Chorus 2:

Mayday!  Mayday!

The country’s going down.

The virus lurks; we’re out of work

And Donald wears the crown.

Mayday!  Mayday!

We’re stuck with Trump and Pence.

Is this God’s wrath?  Well, do the math;

Are they worth the expense?
