Twelve Daze of Lockdown (edited)

On the twelfth day of lockdown, my Governor sent to me
Twelve reasons to sign the petition
Eleven Fortune 500’s packing bags
Ten more CLOSED signs
Nine worries for our homeless ways
Eight longer unemployment lines
Seven science demands
Six feet for social distance
Five empty propane cans
Four non-reusable plane tickets
Three reasons to see he’s posing
Two kicks to the ribs, and
A curfew and mandatory closing

My estimation of him as man just plummeted. For this man to cry like a woman, is a disgrace. Even Cinderella didn’t cry!
