A Few Fries Short by Chris Sorrenti
Oh!
to be young and invincible again
In middle years
that sickeningly sweet
too familiar human nature
“It won’t happen to me or at least this time”
the super-spreaders’ unspoken motto
as they continue to party
myriad John Belushi(s) in Animal House
So the fines come out
justifiably
for all those who stoke that second wave
or as a colorful politician recently remarked
“A few fries short of a Happy Meal”
