Never Ending

'Let me tell you a story'
  O, those magical words
Sleepy heads snap to attention
  Gather round, eager birds

Stories you tell have a beginning
  a middle and always an end
And a happy ending
  can be your best friend

But the 'story' making headlines today
  is one often ending in woe
Unlike your magical tales
  This is one to forego

I wish this were some bad writer's tale - but we will make it through, with patience and perseverance-

Ha ha! Hell is too comfortable a landing for this cursed virus. Let's send it to Venezuela, a real hell-hole these days! Thanks, Jennifer
