Baa, Baa Black sheep

Have you any masks?

One for the hospitals

And one for the nurses

One for the doctors

To save them from the worst pass

But the US has issued decrees

You can’t import them

We’re keeping them for ourselves

And other medical needs

Just save yourself

You can make them from cloth

We’re keeping them for Americans

Not Canadians

Now look at us and do your worst

You namby, pamby, too polite Canadians

Is it profiteering?

Is it selfishness?

Or both?

What makes someone claim

All the medical supplies are theirs

We share a border

We share businesses
We send medical staff
Dcotors and nurse
Across the line

We give and we give

You take and you take

Now you want to us

To give everything

And leave us nothing?

We are not the dirt

Under your feet

We are not expendable

For your mistakes

We care about you

Though sometimes

You seem 

The black sheep

Of the family

We share, because we care

We are in this together

Let’s work together

And save us all

Ventilators and masks for all
