We Did As Told Poem by Randy McClave

While in the military my dad never shunned or rejected
While in the military with many shots he was injected,
Then when my brother served he took his shots as well
As does all U.S soldiers as all truths does tell.

While in the military my dad and brothers did as told
Even as if to the Government their body was sold,
What they were told to do, they would patriotically concur
And always with a salute and a, "Yes Sir! "

In school we took booster shots and vaccines
To end measles, mumps and rubella and to strengthen our genes,
And if it weren't for those vaccines and every booster shot
Who knows of the diseases and viruses we would have caught.

When we were sick or contagious our school was locked down
The schools didn't want us to spread our bugs and germs around,
When we were sick our parents would also lock us in
As their parents had did them, as if they were carrying a sin.

We did what we were told and we were never afraid
Guidance and help we sought for and prayed,
We did it happily as help and care was always expedient
And we were always behaved, respectful and obedient.

When I was seen by a dentist or a doctor they wore a mask
When my son was born I worn one and no one did ask,
And when I cut grass or worked with chemicals I wore one too
As I didn't want cancer, or germs or the flu.

Every single American is part of a special club
To fight diseases and germs we always clean, sanitize and scrub,
And we all faithfully follow the law of this great land
So, we all get injected, masked, locked down when told and planned.
