Letter from Patient X

Doctor,

Please come and stick that needle in my arm.
Your Hippocratic oath to "do no harm"
Does like a chemo treatment to my hair--
It makes my fear of COVID disappear.

Please tell me you're just like the CDC,
Reporting all the data honestly,
And never seek to fudge, manipulate;
So I know that you will always shoot me straight.

Please nick me with that nanolipid vial,
And say "safe and effective" with a smile;
I know that if unsafe, you would have warned;
So as long as you consent, I feel informed.

Please tell me that you follow Fauci close,
For the data change, elusive like a ghost;
And I only want assurance that he sees
That I will follow all of his decrees.

Please jab me with your juice of RNA
So I can throw this musty mask away
When they allow. With Delta on the rise,
Of course I will continue if advised.

Please tell me that this shot is what I need
To carry on in life without disease;
And no matter what the variants we've got,
I'll be back in to get my booster shot.

Sincerely,
Patient X
