Covid-19 Coping

It seems to happen frequently
At least in this millennium
All the freedoms we enjoy
We now must keep to minimum

They say we must can cel our plans
And figure out why tissue
Has disappeared from grocer's shelves
When toilets aren't the issue

Was it a snake that put me in
This frantic need to sanitize
Or could a bat have sneaked one by
And caused this world to agonize?

I'd hardly think a wayward germ
Is gonna take my lungs out
But lis'ning to the MSM
My saner side will then doubt

Following the movie stars
In self-imposed restrictions
I'll give in to sequestering
And snub the contradictions

So now I wait to see what the
Stock market guys will guess at
And what my local diplomates
Will emphasize and stress that

Contamination headlines streak
Across the news like comets
I could not close this timely rhyme
Ignoring words like vomit.

Andrea Dietrich Date: 5/6/2020 4:36:00 PM how funny, vomit on the last line!! Ummm, I think something fishy is going on with the whole thing. They just took down the video Plandemic from Youtube . When they start censoring what people are saying about this whole thing, I really start to wonder!! Login to Reply Dalton Moss Date: 5/6/2020 5:23:00 PM Thank you Andrea! (You must be reading my FB posts! That one is still on Vimeo though. We're living in interesting times--bummer.) Appreciate the comment, so much :)
