Mark Koplin Poet Rhyme

Quarantine Blues

All is quiet, my corner still safe.
Ten more pounds, I’m beginning to chafe.
I’ve chewed the couch and the lazy boy chair.
I look like a hippy with all of this hair.

Civilization does need to return.
The dogs want me gone as my stomach swells and churns.
A fresh box of ding dongs and twinkies galore.
My britches don’t fit I can’t take much more.

I never thought that I would see the day.
A line outside Walmart, no freaking way.
How long will this last, I don’t have a clue.
I’m stuck indoors with the quarantine blues.

Indiana Shaw April 25, 2020 at 9:14 AM Yes, strange but true, I have seen a lot of folks putting on weight in this quarantine period, just goes to show, less is more, and I hear Walmart's are selling dog masks at half price, just in case that stomach explodes . . . : ) Mark Koplin April 25, 2020 at 9:54 AM I'll have to remember that when I go next. LoL.. Stay safe
