The Rich Get Richer
So many crooks like old Madoff
From trusting folks they get paid off
The economy fell
Yet their pockets still swell
and as for me, I am laid off...

Struggling
His stress is too much to take,
drinking to self-medicate.
Laid off from the job he loves
Covid shutdown brings heartache

Good Times Imperiled
Today’s workplaces incommodious
Laid off, the exuberant and joyous
Atmosphere’s sterile
Good times imperiled
Efficiency’s drumbeat will destroy us

Exhibitionist (On Purpose)
Showing off the ultimate bathing fright,
worked all winter preparing a delight.
Laid off the usual beer,
summer now finally here.
His Speedo package outrageous and tight!
*For the battle of the bulge contest. It only takes one Speedo to ruin a day at the beach!...

Frozen Bill
Laid off, Unemployed, no pay
No funds to pay the electric bill
Service disconnected. Temperatures plumeting
As night sets, snow and ice fall silently apon the eaves,
entombing the house.
Silent night plays, somewhere...

Sheltered
The day my life became sheltered
In the midst of a deadly virus
It’s killing hundreds and
Spreading like a raging wildfire
I have to stay inside
And keep my head together
And try not to think
Of the worst
Even though it is the worse
This invisible virus seems
To be creeping all over
The place
Laid off work
Shortage of necessities
That’s very hard to find
But you hunt for them continuously
Turning my life upside down...
