Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

The News Today

Stock market's down 2,000 points
Oil's selling for $32 a barrel
The entire country of Italy's
on corona-virus restriction  

So, wash your hands more often
Take frequent and wise precautions
Yes, the news today is pretty terrible 
But it's you who decides it's unbearable

Caren Krutsinger March 12, 2020 at 6:13 AM This is why the only news I get is from my two poetry sites. Gershon Wolf March 12, 2020 at 7:36 PM Here's a news bulletin for you: 'No good news today once again.' Stay tuned for broken stories. ~ gw

Jennifer Proxenos March 11, 2020 at 1:58 PM Hi Gershon, Its truly very scary - we have 13 confirmed cases in our Province and one of them is critical - what can we do, i don't think our generation has lived through a world wide epidemic - pray that the medical profession will find a cure soon. Blessings, Jennifer.

Ronald D Thompson March 10, 2020 at 5:11 PM So true. Heard a saying once along the lines that 'it's not what happens in your life that is important. It's the way you react!' Great post Sir. Ron Gershon Wolf March 10, 2020 at 5:36 PM So true. It's how we deal with what happens that makes or breaks us... :) gw

Line Gauthier March 10, 2020 at 12:26 AM It's impossible to imagine what China and Italy are really going through. What's next? Waiting for the shoe store to drop. Gershon Wolf March 10, 2020 at 5:35 PM Only hope we don't have to go through it here in North America soon. :) gw

Jenish Somadas March 9, 2020 at 11:49 PM The minute creature is teaching human race the importance of cleanliness and good manners... Gershon Wolf March 10, 2020 at 5:34 PM Wouldn't you rather we'd learn these lessons from a different teacher?! Thanks, Jenish

Evelyn Judy Buehler March 9, 2020 at 10:58 PM You've made a good point, Gershon. Panic and overreacting only makes matters worse. Love your poem! Blessings. Gershon Wolf March 10, 2020 at 5:10 PM Haha... Not that there's any panic out there, eh?! ---Naw… Thanks, Evelyn. :) gw
