Time Off for Good Behavior

We can’t blame the doctor if he needs a long vacation.
He’s been dealing months now with a very stupid nation.
Kids can’t stay indoors now, though that’s all some ever did.
Had to wait for PPE until the proper bid.
And, until this week, we lacked consensus on the mask.
That and social distancing fell to “Don’t tell. Don’t ask.”
The king just will not grace his face with sensible protection.
Throughout this pandemic, he’s been our second infection.
Mike Pence, too, kept us in suspense with his white christian stance.
His whole affect is quite suspect; he might be in a trance.
And dealing with spokesmodel Kayleigh has to be a strain.
She said she’d never do it, but there’s lying on her brain.
And so, Doc, if you want to get away, perhaps go hiking,
there’re many countries where this virus is not spiking.
