In the Twilight Zone

We struggle hard to keep in touch

Friends are precious, they mean much

Most are lonely, on a limb

Their threads of social life worn thin.

 

This pall of COVID casts deep gloom;

Obliged to dance to a new tune

We yearn to run out, fling arms wide

And welcome friends to meet inside …

 

But No!  Drones check our every move!

We’re punished if we leave our groove

Though Christmas lights these winter nights

Try to put the world to rights.

 

With downtown bars and pubs all closed

No respite for onlookers’ toes

And should we decorate our home?

What’s the point when we’re alone?

 

Sound bite shockers: what is real?

Vaccines? Biden? BREXIT deal?

BBC and CNN

Stir the pot – no one is zen!
