Between Twilight and Dawn

The reason I'm posing as a dumb blonde babe hyped up on some romance book is mostly to be in sync with the clichés of today's news with a government high on crack who wants to roll Tex Avery big style.

There's Manu and Castex^†
There's Castex and Manu
When the virus comes out
They got plenty of tricks
Cataclysmic plans
To shut businesses down
They're going off the rails
And we serve as guinea pigs
Bye bye bye...

They're on the pipe
They're taking us for a ride
And because of their blunders
It doesn't look good

There's Manu and Castex
There's Castex and Manu
With very complex measures
Leaving us quite puzzled
They've been so smart
At handling this health crisis
What a  mess
And we serve as guinea pigs
Bye bye bye...

"Manu et Castex" (Minus & Cortex)", Ingrid Courrèges (2020)

You may say that besides the domino mask and the owl's eyes, you don't really see the connection. Actually, with all these events on the calendar every other day, I tried to pack the Chinese New Year with Valentine's Day and Mardi Gras altogether — let's see if you can find the references. Besides, I'm respecting both clichés, traditions, and mandatory mask in domo.

Poo poo pi doo!

P.S.: Heck! Sugar! Drat! Pancakes hit the roof and won't come down. Never mind, we'll have some wafers instead...
