A virus was rife, and threatening your life,
But wearing a mask was too much strife.
It lay under your nose,
And never rose,
Even after losing your wife.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

This is a powerful message executed brilliantly with a hint of dark humor and upfront messaging. Excellent work.
Poignant!
Oh man that is dark comedy!
Ugh right? I like this limerick style… pointing out some true absurdities!
