'50s Spoon

"Father Knows Best": 
Sitcom with legs.
Bother Foe's Nest...? 
Swipe enemy's eggs.

Trio cum Plio-

Heckle & Jeckyle & Hyde:

COVentry Carol or the Nonsense He Knows

     I've 
call'd for COVES who don’t get captur'd, 
COVES who don’t get caught. 
     I’m 
circumspect re COVENS, where Dem's 
witch-hunt raids get wrought.

     I'm 
COVETOUS of cash...'cuz I crave
capital...a lot!
     My 
habit’s been to rake coin in. (Through 
COVIN, oft as not.)

     Cook'd 
capers call for COVER-UPS. Of 
those I've caused a bevy.
     With 
lingual coinage, too, I'm clever. 
(Google my ‘COVFEFE.’)

     Now, 
nasty Chinese COVID-19's 
vast catastrophe!
     Drumpf's
vocable- (his V O C-) CO-
VALENT...? 'C O V-.'
