Ponder

Enjoy music with tonic and gin
social distancing is now no sin
avoid  a shake of hands
virus lurks in  the lands
you step out, corona will move in.

Time to take a chill pill and ponder
and gaze into the wide blue yonder
separate need from greed
else nature make us bleed
and mankind may have far to wander.

Good write on the condition we find ourselves in these days. Yes, for introverts social distancing is not that different from their every day lives. Always good to be careful. Blessings...

Maureen, thanx for appreciating. We realise importance of simple basic things only at such times. Else we are always running to get something or the other. Rgds. Mohan
