Frank Craven 1955

Sonnet
2020

Wow, Twenty Twenty was a big drag!
Sudden lock down paranoia nag.
Stupidity ruled fear filled flags.
Pretty girls acted like old hags.
Poisonous germs inside their own gag.
Hush up, shut up, don't sneeze nor gab.

Yet, wagging fingers with advice.
Behind a mask, afraid of nice.

The worry wart, contagion plague.
Was fake, phony lab rat man made.

No school, theater, concert nor church hails
but booster up the drug and liquor sales!

About this poem

A funny reflection about the year of pandemic paranoia. A denouncement and ridicule of an extraordinary event.
