Crazy 2020

Crazy 2020 Up side out – downright up –clocks get surly; Rivers flow north – time faints – Murphy’s Law scores; Early runs late now late running early – One and three just don’t make four anymore. Rosters crow at midnight – moonrise at noon; Zebras minus stripes – giraffe with short legs; Cats with trunks – hippos hop like kangaroos – Cows give green milk – pink hens laying pink eggs. Natural order all in shambles – spun round – Winter's wearing flowers – snowflakes confused; Mother Nature’s psychotic break profound Normal now anormal – chaos unloosed. Year “out of order,” just hang the sign out; Wait for repair – a screwed up year no doubt. 5-23-20 14 Lines

One for the scrapbook, so when you look back on what you did in 2020, you can say, "Oh yeah, I was sitting around writing poems about how screwed up the year was", haha! Great write, my friend, and congrats on one of many accolades this week! Player of the week is next!

Thank you my friend! It has been quite a week but for you too! This road trip has been "all screwed up!" Wonder who in the front office has been hiding under their desk? Take care. I think we may hear "play ball" soon. Wouldn't that be sweet music?! Be blessed.

Indeed a year "out of order". We can just hope to survive and rise. Congratulations on your win Sam :)

At the beginning of this year, who would have imagined chaos on the loose rather than the muse on the loose! I love your optimism and hope. I share your sentiments, Aditi! Blessings my friend.

Definitely Murphy's Law on drugs or steroids or whatever! Murphy's Law needs a little down time! Thanks for your congratulations, Janice. Hope all is well.

This has been a really challenging year all around for most all of us. My granddaughter was born February 23 during this pandemic and she was two months early! I couldn't even be there for my daughter who was very ill with Pre-eclampsia for two months in the hospital in Santa Rosa, Calif. Now that sweet baby may be a year old before I can hold her. Your poem is spot on Sam! Crazy 2020 is a perfect title too! Blessings xxoo

I cannot imagine what you have been through - the worry and anxiety. And, on top of all of that, not being able to hold that darling baby - that is every torture technique all rolled into one! I have a friend in your exact situation. I pray the situation is remedied SOON and that you hold that precious child in your arms. Thank you for your feedback. Prayers and Blessings! my friend.
