Masks protect and are keeping with the latest fashions.
They’re recommended now when going out for rations.
CDC has instructions on how to make a face mask from an old T-shirt.
I decided to go with this sewn version. What could it hurt?

I rummaged the cluttered closet, the closet we most dread,
  and extracted the sewing machine and a basket of thread.
We have a Husqvarna stitcher, a family heirloom,
  it’s really overkill for sewing old Fruit of the Loom.

Husky makes it easy to execute a bobbin resupply,
  it does everything except find the needle’s eye.
The controls are a breeze, it has a forgiving tensioner.
It performs flawlessly for this poetic pensioner.

I snipped and stitched, and actually produced a hem,
  and now can protect others from my airborne phlegm.
So be cool, be in, be the hip kid on the block
  by making a mask from an old tie-dye or big colorful sock.
