Notes About The Poem

Many times we need to lean on ourselves, evaluate information, and act as we see fit. We don't have to wait for the government. Do you really think they care for the general public very much? Think about it.

Quarantined

Quarantined
By Franklin Price

So you're tired of being quarantined
Are at home and off the street
The restaurants have shut their doors
Take out's all there is to eat

Could try to fix some for yourself
With the help of family
Who knows, it could be edible
You'll just have to try and see

Or as a bear in winter,
Could sleep the COVID through
Then wake up somewhat smaller
Maybe down a size or two

No matter what your preference
How and what you feed your face
Don't run in crowds, wash your hands well,
Stay quarantined, and in your place.

PS
Please don't wait for government 
To hunker down and isolate.
You are the most responsible
For determining your fate.
