Plugging in...
When
the corona virus came about,
The artist in the Tutor came out.
Remember
when the Pandy hit?
The
entire world had a hissy fit.
Some
took out their needles to knit,
And
others found a ball to hit.
Some
raised beautiful gardens with flowers,
Others
baked goods with caloric powers.
Vegetable
seeds became as precious as gold,
Impossible
to find, no more being sold.
Some
stayed in their houses and stewed,
While
others went out protesting, and booed.
Practicing
safe six became the new norm,
As
PPE and sanitizer took the world by storm.
The Tutor kept remotely plugging away,
Working
with clients, keeping Covid at bay.
Many
sat down and sewed some masks,
Others
were consumed with household tasks.
Amazon
and Instacart made deliveries to doors,
Being
careful to leave packages on the floors.
People
read more far and wide,
Book
clubs met on the virtual side.
Cooking
became a national obsession,
While
some admittedly sank into depression.
Schools
closed up all their classrooms,
Teaching
took place in the new class-zooms.
The
air worldwide became much cleaner,
While
all the politics got a little meaner.
Puzzles
and games were coveted things,
People
shared them, as they did many things.
Stimulus checks gave us a timely reprieve,
Showing us hope and something to believe.
The
stock market went on a roller coaster ride,
As
every country told people to stay inside.
Some
gained the Covid mighty 15,
Others
embraced fitness to the extreme.
Countries
re-opened in thoughtful phases,
We
all walked apart through 6 foot mazes.
One
day we will gather more closely to reminisce,
And
once again safely greet others with a kiss.
Kindness,
generosity and creativity abound,
As
a new way of living we have found.
Scientists
and others are working day and night,
To
vaccinate us from this virus fright.
Heroes
are lauded, they come in all types,
Contact-less paying became the new hype.
No
words of thanks are enough for our heroes
As
they reduce virus numbers back to zeroes.

ALWAYS REMEMBER: before calling for help - is it plugged in, and is it turned on?
Unplugged
