Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Cancellations

Schools, parades and lots of trips,
Cruises, flights and races;
Tennis matches and events
In other crowded places:

All are being canceled or
Postponed for times awaiting.
No one knows how soon is safe
When one’s recalculating.

Expos, luncheons, weddings, shows,
Surgeries elective
Crossed off calendars because
Of cautioning directive.

Life appears to be on hold
As virus germs go flitting
And cancellations mount while fear
Shows not a chance of quitting.

Rico Leffanta March 12, 2020 at 1:41 PM How is it that Genius Trump - whose genes include medical expertise - can't cancel the virus? Trump's, "Don't worry be happy" prescription does not appear to be working! Aloha! rico
