Comment from gingermo
Thank you for making me laugh in these uncertain times. It's like thumbing your nose at the virus and because we are taking it so seriously it provides a certain amount of balance. A sense of humor is so important to lighten life's load. The picture is a classic...what looks like a metal mask covering the offending part complements the poem beautifully. The rhyming second and fourth lines gives the poem a rollicking rhythm which suits the subject. The imagination is outside the box and I'm giving it a 6.

Wow, thank you so much for the great review and the giant sixer, Ginger. Yes, we need to add some humor in our lives when times are tough. I dearly appreciate the generous stars, G. I'm glad you liked this silly piece. Thank you again. Have a wonderful rest of your weekend.

Comment from Marjon van Bruggen
Although I take this damn Coronavirus very seriously and follow all the safety regulations to the letter, a big smile escaped me when I read this poem. It is funny, even if I don't agree with the content. Let's keep our mouth and nose covered when we are outside, and stay INSIDE when you don't have urgent reasons to go out. But in safe times to come -and I hope that will be soon- it's a good idea to keep the publicly farting at bay. Don't throw the masks away, they might come in handy!

Comment from Lara Lynne
I always like the things out there that go beyond or simply just say what we are thinking. A lot of times people will say I cant believe you said that and I'm like yes but you were thinking it. Anyway, Love this and I hope all this corona stuff goes away quicker than it got here.

Wincefully witty. Made me gag from start to finish--and I mean that in the nicest possible way! Indeed, folks wear their masks back-asswards. Cheers. LIZ And may the fart (not) be with you.
