redundant what a word
3 vowels and 9 letters
2 more than useless
comes down to 1 word
nothing can be done
to reverse the verdict
redundant much worse
than useless washed up
meter says nada zero zilch
there can be no exception
time to pack it in and get
no bail out for redundant
there’s no place left to go
Laughter has been banned indefinitely
Preparing for King Donnie’s Corona-tion
Junior is the heir apparent to the throne
Everyone is sad and dreary everywhere I roam
Donnie is still longing for complete exoneration
For exterminating all the Old Folks At Home
Mother Earth became weary
From pollution and noise
She sent forth a virus
To vacate her lands
The virus grew
Causing people to fear
Mother Earth rested
As the people dropped tears
From the grounds sprang spring
Signs of new life
While living stayed
Mostly cooped inside
As Mother Earth regenerated
People realized their gratitude
Zoom became of high demand
In place of a hug
No one shall know
What happens in the future
But Mother Earth
Got her well deserved rest
And, people?
They got to understand
That they need people
Connection
And, the Earth
Listen
it’s not you
it’s this pandemic
so I kinda need
personal space
right now
I need to stay
at least six feet
away from love
so blame the virus
for what is happening
with us
under other circumstances
I would kiss you
just below your earlobe
but right now
I’m a total germaphobe
look I know you’re not pleased
but what hurts me most
is not that you cried
but that you sneezed

This virus brought us far,
But we can’t get back by car,
It spreads itself far,
All without any mark,
Inadequate protection let it enters us,
Without us knowing it is there,
As it begins attacking cells,
As the attack, rings just as a bell,
We might run fast,
But can’t avoid the virus,
As it infects the iris,
As there’s no way out,
We might eat grapes,
Without knowing the escape,
As it flies through the body,
As a shape free to undertake,
Round but not weak,
As it looks for a victim,
Not immune to such infection,
That victim is seeking protection,
A protection as that virus is nonstop.
