I Hear He's a Winner
'The Bearer of Bad News'
All around you lay
The sick and the dying,
Calling out for help
While you go on denying
Unmasking legions
Misleading crowds,
Basically handing them
Their own death shrouds
You are no authority
You are no physician,
Just a man abusing
His mighty position
Responsible for those
The pandemic did kill,
All the while denying
And doing it still
No more ears listen to
The bearer

Dear Frank
Dear Frank,
I'm sending a little note,
A note in the wind...
May you find this
Like I found you...
It was nearly a year ago,
In early December,
When I stumbled upon you.
Your voice and your music,
Your heart and your soul.
Floating into my ear,
Another kind of
Note in the wind...
And it made me smile.
As fate would have it
Music would fill a void
That

Numb-Out
At the back of my palate
Near the top of my throat
Lies a region as holy
As the blood of a goat
Now feeling numb
Insensitive to scent
I wonder just where
My smell mojo went
Will COVID return it?
Can olfaction come back
As piercing and strong
As a hammering jack?
It comes in quite handy
In professions like mine
Where years have been spent
Designing a fragrance

I Wish We Had Known, When We Left, That We Were Leaving
When I left the high school for the last time
on Friday, March 13
I thought we’d be closed for a week.
Maybe Two.
I told my students to enjoy the week off.
I didn’t bother saying goodbye to the students
I didn’t have that day.
I left a water bottle in my room.
I left a stack of papers, ungraded.
I left a

A Chilling Winter
Is it really colder this winter?
Or is the world growing colder towards one another?
Shouldn’t it have been cooler rather than colder?
The sounds of machine guns held by men toting them have replaced those of snow guns…
Where snow blades should have been seen,
Bladed weapons are umpteen,
No church bells can be heard,
But they are simply tolling for

Omicron You
Well, they’ll omicron you when you’re trying to be so good
They’ll omicron you just a-like they said they would
They’ll omicron you when you’re tryin’ to go home
Then they’ll omicron you when you’re there all alone
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get omicroned.

The Unseen Wolf
Lonely and in coldness
Mice hiding in burrows
Alone with no sunlight
“There is no wolf” some cry
But the wolf is quite real
Real as the sun itself
Waiting for him to pass
While the wolf lurks for food
Cares not for colour or gender
“My pups won’t be hunted”
But he will follow them
And find the older mice
Whispers of deaths linger
Growing like a

globally values have transformed

for a world-wide reset

A Comic's Final Joke - During the Covid Pandemic
Written by Gail DeBole
On December 8, 2021
Updated on February 6, 2025
Before his fans entered the funeral’s door
They all read a sign that they couldn’t ignore.
The sign listed rules to be followed by his fans
Who had come to show respect for this funny man.
He wanted to make sure his mourners stayed safe.
To not follow these mandates

Off Coronavirus
Why is this virus still shining bright?
Even brighter than the sunlight.
Covid why not leave our sight ?
We are super tired of the fight !
Reality don’t have any knight,
That is way too right.
Virus we are not your delight ,
Instead you are our fright!
Covid you are way too tight,

Bureaucracy Vs Democracy
A monster now has been set free
in this once land of liberty.
This 'Frankenstein' divided us
due to the Covid vaccine fuss.
Glib leaders 'round the table sit-
like at a tea party, commit

End of Age
End of Age
Is it the end of our lovely, precious, living age?
Are we experiencing doom’s day very soon?
The time is stopped by an invisible deathly army,
No arms, weapons, is enough to kill the enemy.
I dream of your eyes, your ugly narrow look, your drooling nasty face,
I shiver in fear, sweat and wake up
