Summer Heat

Friday June 5, 2020

When the summer heat 

Gets you down, 

And there is no cool air 

To be found.

Not even an air conditioner 

With in your sight, 

Take off those covers 

In the heat of the night.

Keep your windows open

When the moon shines so bright

Until the morning sunrise

sheds off a little light. 

When that temperature 

Starts to rise, 

Put those sunglasses 

On your eyes.

Put sunscreen on 

Before going out, 

So you don’t burn

without a doubt.

So enjoy the Summer

play it cool,

Don’t go crazy 

Acting like a fool.

Keep It Safe June 4, 2020

As I sit at home

 day after day 

Hoping that this Corona 

Will go away. 

Knowing that I

 am at high risk 

Taking a chance 

Would be a tisk tisk.

On top of having asthma 

And If I were to catch Corona too, 

I surely would be at. death’s doorstep

Without even having a clue. 

Although I am tempted 

to get on with my life, 

playing it safe 

for now, just seems right. 

As I stay busy at home

Writing a poem a day,

Helps perk me up 

and keeps the wishy washies away. 

Keep It Safe

Summer of 2020

As the days grow longer and warmer too

In the Summer of 2020

 It reminds me of the past, when we were disease free

And the beaches were good and plenty.

There were no restriction on what we could do 

And to travel, you could just jump in your car, 

Going for miles without a care 

ending up ever so far. 

Meeting up with friends, in large groups

No distance restriction heard of,

now we have to keep ten feet apart 

And always wearing that glove.

Keeping in touch by phone or skype 

So as to keep our nation disease free, 

Staying put in our homes 

As content as we can be. 

So as we slowly get through this epidemic 

Try to stay calm and cool, 

And do no go out running around 

Without your mask, acting like a fool. 

“STAY SAFE EVERYONE”
