Southern Hospitality and a Shot of Comfort

There is an aura for the moment looking gloom Closing in on climatic resolution known as high noon Weather was dealt the color grey Heavy clouds outdoor on this day Blocking the sun from peeking through Temperatures hot relatively cool Glaring distractions are wearing nature’s shades School year ready to hand out final grades But months earlier an invader came out from the mist Tying socialization wrists Being a star taking the stage Putting the world in a household cage A viral infection Criminally contagious facing nation’s united rejection Traveling the world Covid 19 threatened global protection Eluded handcuffs reality not having any vaccine injection When international health did its inspection A sick situation projected to fizzle During summer when the north sizzles A southern pop Where CDC acts like a cop Wrote the screenplay strategizing how to make the pandemic stop Forcing the apocalyptic mission attempt to be a box office flop Today they will try to collect money To combat this issue defined ‘not funny’ Four go fore the green Setting a sporting interacting scene An opportunity to raise funds Using an entertaining spectacle when is done Donors will clap for those that have won Then as the sunsets Fast autos will fire off their jets Under the light signed off by the moon Creating the thought the holiday is not ruined Flashy, colorful and cool Racing at Charlottes’ speedway NASCAR’s crown jewel Six hundred miles they will speed Making it southern hospitality roaring like the General Lee Hopefully, the Sunday message will be comprehended No need to be defended When staring at the military graves in rank and file Knowing yesterday ended with Coca Cola and a smile
