Holiday Lockdown

 RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: CORONAVIRUS SERIES

Holiday Lockdown

 

The Black Plague the Spanish Flu

These are the times we’re living through

 

Is it so hard to understand?

There’s a scourge upon the land

 

Should we behave how we desire?

Would we walk into a blazing fire?

 

As the vaccine is being prepared

Let us act as if we cared

 

It’s one more holiday lockdown

Maybe soon we can all go to town

 

To do the things we’ve missed

Kiss all the babes we didn’t kiss

 

Celebrate till the sun goes down

Pass the bottle all around

 

Until then we can wait

This time next year: it’s a date
