Masked Manneken!

Our little ketje dons a mask*,
A brand new costume - need you ask?
But representing, as he does,
Brussels, he must make a buzz!

Stoofstraat or Rue de l'Etuve
Is where our Manneken is viewed;
All love to take his picture home
Keen tourists whip out their smart phone!

But not today - the Virus stalks
Our cobbled streets on lonely walks
Perplexed, he pees and no one stares
What a sad state of affairs!
