Poem
In La Crosse we see it's not very pretty; a goliath is towering but Altman is gritty' The numbers are stacked the way I see, but number One can make your enemies flee I'd faced the foe five weeks in all, with burning eyes cold sweat did fall; the darkness Loomed as with ears on fire; I staggered and crawled under covids fire no mask no gloves For me three cared; If we had known more we might have not so well fared' Yet this is Dec 2019 the UK was supposed to have no sickness there' yet many signs I Bore that year; a weight on my back; and delirium dreary wore, depression stalked the walls closed in My chest near solid, air seemed oh so thin, in my nostrils thick the stench extreme, yet I won through with the Lord and prayer; a quinine tonic ever there, till the storm within me calmed then I knew My sight was harmed.' My retina displayed clear dots of light; I thought what type of flu? And rued The fight' yet after weeks my sight was improved , I'm healthy now my breath is well' For 99'6 percent survive that's the fact I know to tell' and that's why I strive; against misinformation Against the tide' that beats against the free world's will, yet don't despair dilute the swill James Altman makes a worthy stand, so Rally Rally around the man' no one is right Before the Lord, yet to serve in adversity we are called'
