I think I will
I think I will have another cup of tea
It's another cold cloudy day
With wet wind and showers
It's better to be inside than out
Waiting for the lockdown to pass
Feeding the dog and cat
And being prim and proper
Lying in bed with nothing to do
Being creative Writing
And by the fire with  everything  to do but not doing it

Death is stalking me.
It watches me play cards,
smoke cigarettes, and
drink beer.
It took my parents, two
brothers, and all my friends.
It got Chris last week.
20 bottles of whiskey in
seven days, I suppose that
would **** anyone.
They found him on the
railroad tracks.
Death is stalking me.
I won't cheat it.
I won't escape it;
but before it gets me,
I bet I finish
this poem.

Corona
Fa-shion-a-ble
It is on everyone's lips
It is unpopular
People hate it
It speaks of beauty
It speaks of power
It speaks of death
Crowns and flowers will pass away
So will corona

Hey Mr Tambourine Man
You played your song for me
I'm floating flying flitting
Round the universe
Tomorrow doesn't matter
I'll be here today
Tramusing til the end
I'll be wandering
Nothing matters now
I'll enjoy just what is
The sun is shining  down
And the people passing
Hey Mr Tambourine Man
You played your song for me
And now I'm living long
For peace has come my way
It came through the music of your song to me
The sun is shining down
And the people're passing by
It's fantabulous

Covid-19 hums and ahs
Move quickly through the slings of unpreparedness
Move carefully through the morgues of horror
Five ten fifteen to seventy five days and over one and a half million people can be infected
Every five days the number can double
There is nothing new under the sun
In the end only love survives

Raspberry or boysenberry
That is the question
Whether which is yummier or fuller in the stomach
If having a full stomach Whether  a tasting taste bud
Whether to have more
Or less
That is the problem

Reach out for the people
For those who wander in darkness
Who can not see that life is the right side up
And narrow is not wide
Down is not up
Reach out for those who think they know it all
But don't
Think outside the square
And comfort those who have no brains
