Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Simple Solutions

The Governors complain about the POTUS
The President complains about them
Chicago's Mayor screams: "Stay at home!"

Meanwhile, more and more folks are dying
Too busy complaining, pols aren't even trying
Simple solutions to some of our problems

Like dedicating more factories to produce PPE
Which'll also open up jobs for laid-off employees

Like offering a prize for a good, cheap ventilator
That'll surely bring a response from sharp innovators

Like creating temporary internships for health-care students
Overworked nurses and doctors might find this quite prudent

Where's the vision and leadership so desperately needed
More complaining and screaming's not going to be heeded

Lindsay Laurie May 3, 2020 at 8:04 PM G'day Gershon … you have hit the nail on the head Gershon. It's a time when inventors must be encouraged, and product produced while lab scientists search for a vaccine - Well written Gershon - Lindsay Gershon Wolf May 3, 2020 at 11:07 PM Gee, thanks for the ringing endorsement, Lindsay! Best wishes, Gershon

Tom Cunningham May 3, 2020 at 3:58 AM Well said Gershon, the same here, been a farce since day one, we were supposed to take it on the chin, they soon changed their minds when told of the possible outcome, I knew what was coming after researching the Spanish flu, my kids thought I was mad, told them to stock up weeks before it all kicked off. Hope alls well Tom Tom Cunningham May 3, 2020 at 5:53 PM They didn't at first Jan but when things got more serious they did. Gershon Wolf May 3, 2020 at 3:52 PM Ha, ha. People in Chicago were nearly coming to blows over rolls of toilet paper a few weeks ago. Had to laugh... Used to used leaves in Israel at times in 1972. The country was much poorer then. I survived somehow. Cheers, Gershon Jan Allison May 3, 2020 at 8:10 AM hope they heeded your advice - son told us to stock up but I didn't heed his advice just got a few tins is lol and wish i'd got pasta when he suggested lol - he is a spag bol monster so I need lots now he is home... thankfully the stock piling has ceased and the shelves are back to normal apart from the queuing which I dont mind:-) hugs Jan xx
