T'was a month before Christmas, And all through the town, People wore masks, That covered their frown. The frown had begun Way back in the Spring, When a global pandemic Changed everything. They called it corona, But unlike the beer, It didn’t bring good times, It didn’t bring cheer. Airplanes were grounded, Travel was banned. Borders were closed Across air, sea and land. As the world entered lockdown To flatten the curve, The economy halted, And folks lost their nerve. From March to July We rode the first wave, People stayed home, They tried to behave. When summer emerged The lockdown was lifted. But away from caution, Many folks drifted. Now it’s December And cases are spiking, Wave two has arrived, Much to our disliking. It’s true that this year Has had sadness a plenty, We’ll never forget The year 2020. And just ‘round the corner - The holiday season, But why be merry? Is there even one reason? To decorate the house And put up the tree, Who will see it, No one but me. But outside my window The snow gently falls, And I think to myself, Let’s deck the halls! So, I gather the ribbon, The garland and bows, As I play those old carols, My happiness grows. Christmas is not cancelled And neither is hope. If we lean on each other, I know we can cope.

2old ~ Did you write the above poem? It is good. No. Can't take credit for that one. One of our Minnesota cousins posted it on her FB page. I just thought it was too good to pass up. Reposted on my FB and have had a number of folks repost on theirs. Sometimes is worries me what those "Minnesota folks" will come up with. Other times... Oh, wait a minute! EVERYONE from Minnesota is FANTASTIC! Whew! Almost forgot who I was talking to.... :>)

2old ~ I think her name should be on the poem. She should get credit for it. I'm glad you realize everyone from Minnesota is fantastic!

This appears to be one of those that is making its way around the FB communities. Thought I'd better be careful what I said about those 'funny talking folks' up north.
