Christmas Time Covid

A short poem

By simplicityPublished 3 years ago • 1 min read

I ignore deaths knocking Unlike the cough and sore throat covid supplied I guess it is a gift outside my Christmas stocking Unlike the angel atop my tree, it's an unwanted holiday topping So high, a pill for this, a pill for that, I could be unaware even on a santa sleigh ride I ignore deaths knocking I asked for a light up punch bowl before my head was throbbing Time off is nice, it can't be denied I guess it was a gift outside my Christmas stocking I have fears, I swear I can feel my blood clotting As I crawl from bed to kitchen on my belly, there's no room for pride I ignore deaths knocking I wish I was a character in one of those movies with the body swappings Fever, runny nose aside I guess it was a gift outside my Christmas stocking It's been days and shows no signs of stopping I sit in bed pondering how covid, my holiday and I coincide I ignore deaths knocking I guess it was a gift outside my Christmas stocking Sent from my Galaxy
