10 weeks into lockdown
tryin’ hard to avoid feelin’ blue
but every day it’s a little harder
tryin’ to think of stuff to do
frequently I’m on my laptop
composin’ these wee rhymes
cause I can only clean my house
so many times
I’m wary ‘bout a lotta things
like WhatsApp ‘n Snapchat
Zoom, Twitter, Instagram
I can’t get down with that
never bothered me overmuch
I like livin’ alone
but in these days of the pandemic
I’m often on my mobile phone
then there’s bad weather days
can’t sit out in my yard
stuck inside with a ticking clock
man, them days is kinda hard
I know everyone’s in lockdown
it’s the only sensible choice
yet I cannot help but yearn
for the sound of another’s voice
so much no one knows:
will this nightmare end soon?
it’s so not healthy for me
all this drinking before noon
so much uncertainty:
when will the lockdown end?
tears & over-thinking
I need a hug – I need a friend
I’m pretty sure these days
it ain’t only me
whose closest relationship now
is with their flat-screen TV
so all hail Netflix
give praise to Amazon Prime
for providing celluloid friends
with whom we can spend our time
let’s all give thanks to Netflix
StarzPlay – YouTube – Hulu
2020 has been a washout
I’d never make it without you
