The Sound of Peace and Quiet

THE SOUND OF PEACE AND QUIET Tis the get together season, company parties and alcohol We need to be with people or we’ll go into withdrawal You tell me to come on over with your desperate voice But the threat of being infected is nothing to rejoice This virus is mean and nasty; there’s little place to hide We’re shutting down our social life with gatherings denied If we refuse to wear a mask it could get us all arrested And if we are coughing moistly, we need to go get tested This Christmas season will be much different from the rest Devoid of human contact will put our patience to the test But keep an open mind, a new tradition may be forming Like the sound of peace and quiet on your Christmas morning No rushing out to visit and no cooking food all day No attention to Aunt Margaret with way too much to say I think I’ll turn some music on just to sooth my soul Look forward to a silent night and a quiet Christmas stroll
