Farewell, Goodbye

Farewell, goodbye, go forth and multiply
So long, be gone, it’s time for you to die
Just go away, do not extend your stay
You’re not required, don’t linger one more day

Your bubble’s burst, you did your very worst
So ‘See you round’?... Not if we see you first
We’ve learned plenty, don’t attempt re-entry
We’ve now got jabs: up yours, twenty-twenty

So take your mess, and leave under duress
It’s your last gasp, no more do you impress
You’ve had your fun, but now your day is done
So pack your bags... It’s twenty-twenty-one

Thank you Linda. Not often that the entire nation/world is of one mind. At least 2020 achieved unanimous disapproval. Terry
