Analysis of Gloved Love
What safer love is out there,
Than being masked and gloved?
6 feet is quite a distance,
Though none will measure up.
And even "me too" ladies,
Are feeling quite hard up.
Their inner clocks are ticking,
Their time, it may be up.
"Oh stay away you fiendish men,
With virus on your breath."
There's nothing more important,
Than choice, and "mental" health.
The crown prince of illness,
Has come to scare away,
Yet even without COVID,
Men tend to run away.
For rest of us lone mortals,
Who had not paired up yet,
Staying home alone on sofa,
Phone "fun" is all you get.
The moral of this story,
And rule of this new game,
With virus flying around,
Self love is all you get!
