What Is a Person To Do

Daddy’s gone a hunting
Mommy’s out there too
Looking for job with a broken left shoe
No one is hiring anyone
The rent is way overdo

The world is upside down
Pandemic has brought flu
Rumors turn quite serious
What’s a person to do?

It surely is not possible
We will have to be social distanced
Until two thousand twenty-two
I do not feel this is living
How about you?

What's gone wrong with our world, it annoys me that we're in this mess, thought they'd save the economy and lose a few vulnerable and the old. Going to cost a damn sight more now, idiots. Tom

When I heard 2022 I said to myself "well, this is not really living any more."
