Party Police!

Pick a date, location, and time, and we’ll surely

never let anyone else know but us! Let the good times happen,

pick your best face mask — it’s time to celebrate!

All the food and free-flowing beer, and don’t forget:

“no leaving until you sing a song for the chief!”

Go and have fun, don’t forget to party like it’s your last!

The outside world seems cold even when the party

exudes a light atmosphere: but the laughter continues to

roar in the streets where you aim your weapon at a child,

only wanting to go to school or play with friends the next day.

Regret the hangover and take off the rose colored glasses later,

inconsistency and confusion happens in your post even when you’re sober.

Sing those songs, eat the catered food and don’t forget to try social distancing:

the people will wake up to news about this little party of yours,

and you won’t be the ones celebrating anymore.
