*tapping lacquered finger nails impatiently on the table* 


300 nights I’ve been here a-pacin’, I’ve got clothes, all shiny and new! This whole year, my time’s been a-wastin', someday this endless virus will be through. On the news, they say there’s a serum, soon I’ll have to take one or two. Crowded clubs, where music’s a-playin’, I bet I can get into one or two. There are boys, out there just for kissin', and someday, I’ll kiss one or two. I’ll find out, just what I’ve been missin', I’ll bet I won’t get home `til one or two. There are guys, of nineteen or twenty, and they know, just what to do. Shiny toys, just waitin’ for choosin’, maybe I’ll pick one... or two! . . . . ok, funny note. I post my poems on several websites and on Quora, several of my readers lobbied me to change the last line of this poem - to follow the "one or two" theme. So, in a way, the last line is "crowd sourced" - and I must say also much improved =] Thanks guys!

I know rhymes are not really your thing but this is nicely written, it’s got a good flow to it and it’s metered very well. Yes, and there will be a vaccine soon and you can find out what you’ve been missin’ cuz there are boys out there waitin’ for some kissin’ ;)
