Disaster Looming

Disaster Looming


		Since this virus
		Has come to be,
		All unnatural
		Happenings we see,
		In the store,
		Pray it’s not later,
		That you find toilet paper!
		Hurry! We need more
		Everyone’s breaking down the door!
		No sanitizers!  No bread! No eggs!
		No napkins!  No paper towel!
		No aspirin!
		This is a mortal sin!
		This is totally unnatural!
		Hundreds of thousands
		Collecting unemployment,
		We have a military deployment!
		Companies closing! Gyms closing!
		Pools closing!  Stores closing!
		Beauty salons and barber shops closing!
		Churches and synagogues cancelling services
		Enough to cause anyone nervousness!
		Government going to pay everyone
		$1,000-$2,000 per person,
		Government going to bail out hotels
		And airlines-over $50 billion bucks
		What horrible luck
		We are all facing now,
		The devil must be taking a bow,
		Disaster looming,
		No flowers blooming,
		Government bankrupt folks
		US Treasury gone broke!

Today is nothing! Wait until your grandchildren start paying the bill (perhaps Trump will declare bankruptcy first?)! Aloha! Rico
