Disappearing During The Pandemic
I hated it and still do a bit
Disappearing can be easy in a
pandemic. Who would have thought it could be?
First, wear a mask everywhere you go, the
work is important, next - pack up and see
what working from home does for you and me
Then, keep everyone at home, online school,
grandparents oversee children without
any sniffles, we wouldn't want to fool
around with getting the old people sick
People are dying, I just want to shout
Friends and family! Working hard to kick
this COVID-19! I missed the first round.
Staying away from others, sometimes in
your own home. How come he didn't get it?
Building up immunity for me and kin.
Cedar is the right medicine to get
Put your prayer ties out, one large white one or
fourteen red prayer ties. Right outside the house
No company, with a sign on the door
when someone is sick, it can be your spouse.
Now stay away from him the best you can
It's tough when he is such a baby, man
do this, do that, disappear whenever
you can and it's tough because wherever
you go there is someone coughing and sick.
Disappearing, not recognizing any
one, anywhere, a lonely place to be
no smiles, no conversations, not many
It is easy to disappear for me!
The pandemic continues on, you see
