Labor Day is over
Summer’s coming to an end
And now, before you know it
We’ll be seeing an old friend
He’s been away a while
But he loves it in the fall
You might see him at a ballgame
You could meet him at the mall
He’s not a pleasant fellow
I don’t really miss him much
You’ve surely met him once before
He likes to keep in touch
He isn’t very friendly
His behavior is outrageous
The best thing you can say–
The fellow really is contagious
Yes, our old friend’s name is COVID
And they say he’s on the way
Bringing lots of presents
That are sure to make your day
I know that you remember him
He closed your church and schools
And brought along behind himself
A book of doubtful rules
The FDA banned medicines
I know because I read it
And then, just seven weeks ago
They said they never said it
Vaccines were required
The powers that be bid it
Now pressed on consequences
They say they never did it
Will we go along again
Or has the tide been turned
We’ve surely learned our lesson
But what lessons have we learned?
