Forget the jokes, it’s not a hoax, be good to care providers.

Help out with social distancing, perhaps wear scarves or masks.

And try to find a time and place not crowded for your tasks.

Spend time inside, don’t walk or ride, unless you need provisions.

Then make it fast, the time is past for pondering decisions.

Wash off your hands, don’t touch your face, don’t sneeze without a blocker.

Avoid the germs, obey the terms, it shouldn’t be a shocker.

There’ll come a time on down the line when folks can congregate.

But not today, just stay away, your soon could be too late.

This April first might be the worst in our health history.

So, can the pranks, stay in, give thanks, and read a mystery.
