Prices are climbing higher.

Things are costlier each day.

They say it’s the cost of labor.

But, it’s a Virus Tax we pay.

Someday it’s likely I’ll relent

and join the chats on Zoom.

I’ve learned that there’s an easy way

to block out my messy room.

But as long as I’m in deep despair

about my COVID Virus hair

my face won’t show up on the air

and you’ll not see me anywhere.

Some thoughts are lost to posterity,

and what a loss that loss could be!

But. other thoughts are caught in rhyme.

It helps me pass my COVID time.

The sky is clear and sunny. 

Possession Sound’s bright blue.

Roses are growing green at the tips.

Crocus is pushing through.

When I look out my window,

it feels like a usual day.

It doesn’t feel like tragedy

is lurking a step away.

Then I flip on the daily news, and

start to hear the day’s reviews…

I’m nearly afraid to draw a breath ‘cause

the news just scares me half to death.

The Robos are all calling.

I’m afraid to leave my door.

They say:  The Sky is Falling!

My whole world is Safe No More!

The Sheriff’s men are on their way!

I’m about to lose my Credit!

The IRS has garnished me!

Oh, Woe!  They’ve surely said it!

They want my credit cards, my checks,

my password and PIN number.

Their demands pound in so ceaselessly

I feel my brain go numb-er.

I must share with them my assets.

I must send them all my cash.

I must reveal my secret numbers

that lay bare my hidden stash!

There ought to be a Stop to This.

There Ought to Be a Law!

(I especially hate the middle aged men

who plaintively say,  “Grandma?”)

There has to be a way to end

harassment via phone.

Avast, Ye Hearty Varmints!

Just Leave MY Phone Alone!

I’m getting lots of Robo Calls.

I wish they’d get the Virus!

The only purpose Robos serve is

to Irritate and Rile Us.
