Gershon Wolf Poet Light Verse

What Pandemic

What 'pandemic?'
  I never called it that
As for 'climate change'
  Something for God to work at

Don't believe there's any 'polarization'
  Isn't the world getting hotter?
As for 'skyrocketing inflation'
  More bothersome politicization...

By now you may have guessed 
  My name is Alfred E. Newman
    ~ What me worry? my jest

Joseph P. DiMino July 3, 2022 at 6:38 PM "What, me Worry!" Love it. Brought back fond memories. Blessings my friend.

Panagiota Romios July 3, 2022 at 1:47 PM Magic, how you take heavy issues and add a wallop of humor, Gershon! I loved Alfred E Newman! Hugs, Panagiota xxx Gershon Wolf July 3, 2022 at 5:50 PM Well, the wand worked wonders with this one, I guess. Good old Alfred E. Newman used to leave me in stitches -- and that's just from seeing the covers of those old MAD Mags! ~ Nostalgic Nutcase

L Milton Hankins July 3, 2022 at 9:40 AM I'm with you, gw. Why worry over anything you can't change? At my age I'm not going to be around if this generation ruins everything. They'll have to deal with it. Not me! Gershon Wolf July 3, 2022 at 5:51 PM Sounds like you and Alfred E. are teaming up for a run at -- to -- destiny!
