FACING A NEW DAY

I bundled up as much as possible
The day looked inviting
The sun was out and
There was beauty to behold,
But I wasn’t going out
 
I then took off my over clothes
Decided to take a nap
Needed to reserve my strength
During this unusual crisis
Thought this was good advice
 
I went to Facebook and had to laugh
People blaming, blaming and blaming
Monday morning quarterbacking
So typical of small minded
Of those who cannot think for themselves
 
Many, many countries infected
Still it is the Presidents fault
He didn’t act fast enough in
Declaring a national emergency
Ridiculed when he did
 
It took him two whole days
And this while being impeached
No one wants this viral curse
We should be together on this
Is respect a dangerous word
 
I think of the Gambler
You have to know when to hold them
Know when to fold them
Know when to walk away
Know when to run
 
We are all going to win a few
Losing is bound to happen
Even to the righteous ones
The very best you can hope for
Is to die in your sleep
