Thoughts: I can’t breathe

Mask: I’ve been bathed in breaths.

Some smell like old farts.

Thoughts: Enough, you are suffocating me!

Mask: I bet those smells are a helluva toll on your respiratory.

Thoughts: You have me looking like a robber.

Mask: You mean Covid? Ahhh don’t blame it on me.

Thoughts: How long is this going to last?

Mask: When I get fed up with hot-air explosions from the two butts of your nose

And the ever-changing kinds of smelly-breaths.

Thoughts: I appreciate you for your protection

Mask: I guess it’s all worth the beat-up I get

Kanye, You just made that mask Famous…not!

Every single one of you, loudmouths, made me famous!
