Of all the problems you could encounter

I can’t say the issue of whether to mount her

Had really appeared on any pandemic list.

But this quarantined wife longs to be kissed

By her husband’s brother, who’s in the house

And who she seems to prefer over her spouse.

While I was out finding buckets of chicken

Other runners of the world did something frickin’

Unbelievable in its scope and commitment

Staging marathons using unusual equipment.

Around and around in their yards they went!

Such innovation and spirit is heaven sent.

I had the good fortune to go out for a run

Keeping distance from others was easily done.

But I still saw the trash folks have left behind

And what a treasure this one was to find…!

The therapeutic power of fried chicken is high

But I think we’ll need more than that to get by.

I’ve come face to face with our system

And the problems are too big to list ‘em.

Our government response is second rate

Compared to countries that didn’t wait

To save jobs and give the economy a chance.

This idea can work – it already has in France.

You’ve made some mistakes in life

Among them having become the wife

Of a dude who has a real hard time

With TV ratings that are not prime.

But doing this you are being a star

With ratings more important by far.

Perhaps the most important thing

Is that it’s blind to subject and king.

We’re all in this one, all together –

Truly birds of the same feather.

I’m hopeful that when we emerge

Compassion will see a lasting surge.

With all the news about bad times,

People struggling for nickels and dimes,

Here’s a business seeing high growth!

With immediate impact and profits both.

While the cost of entry is fairly low

Like many things, it’s who you know…

Back in the days of Bubonic Plague

This German town was not a bit vague…

They promised God if He saved the day

Then every ten years they’d put on a play.

And so it has gone with scant interruption…

But for this new pandemic causing disruption.

After banging pots and making song

Fighting the virus for awfully long

Italy now has some welcome news

A reversal in the lives they lose

To covid-19 and its economic hit.

Stay strong now, it’s no time to quit!

It all comes down to the Golden Rule

Which basically says: “Don’t be a tool.”

So if you position yourself as a man of God

It seems an awful lot more than a bit odd

That you’d willfully put your flock in danger,

As if Satan tapped you to be his ranger…
