Laughter in a Time of Pestilence

RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: CORONAVIRUS SERIES



Laughter in a Time of Pestilence

Now more than ever find the humor
In everyday things

The way your neighbor strikes a pose
The way your aunt Rose sings
The way a glance seems out of place
The way her eyes sit on her face

A scientist plays a fool
A genius struggles at school
A gardener in a surgeon’s mask
A penguin wobbling fast
A dentist who never smiles
A fast runner finishing last

A small man standing tall
A proud man takes a fall
A fancy Dan tromps through mud
A wily weakling plays the stud

In a time of sickness death and sorrow
Find the moments that amuse
Survive the hours till tomorrow
Find a way to beat the blues
