Pandemic Blues Poem by Alan Sandham
Pandemic Blues
I've got the viral blues,
Empty supermarket,
Panic-buying,
Out of the fire into pan-frying,
I wouldn't want to be in my shoes,
blues.
I've got the under-lockdown,
Under-funded,
Under-medicated,
Politicians spinning
Policies un-pre-meditated,
Fake and reconstructed news,
blues.
I've got the over-70,
Cupboard empty,
Running out of toilet paper,
Half-dead from sanitiser vapor,
End of a civilization caper,
blues.
I've got the help-me-if-I'm-breathing-badly,
Cheer me up if I'm talking sadly,
Dance around and sing quite madly,
Hoping that the next top-species
Doesn't just sit in its own feces,
And does a better job,
blues.

How very well constructed Alan. Here, across the pond, seniors are being so well cared for! Highly creative......, I hear the panic buying is here, I am in isolation, so not in the markets. The USA has more than enough. People here need to chill out. You have a great sense of humor..., a 10 my friend, Panagiota Romios
Thank you so much for your appreciation, it came much too easily, but I suppose it's at the front of all our minds. I'm not in isolation myself, but I've a friend who is and must keep two feet away from her own husband, use her own crockery, and not walk the dog. All too believable. I am hoping for the best for all of us. Stay safe.
