An Ode to Stoneridge Creek -covid 19 inspired poem, by (tom addison!)
An Ode to Stoneridge Creek (with apologies to Trump fans) “Sheltering in Place”
We hunkered down to shelter in place,
The SARS CoV 2 was so rampant,
With chapped hands and alcohol all over our face,
Our Spirits were not really dampened.
With food in the fridge and wine on the rack,
The Netflix account fully paid,
We gathered our books, and found comfortable nooks,
And away from all others we stayed.
To socially distance, with help and assistance
From neighbors and staff at “The Creek,”
We watched with alarm, the heartbreak and harm
That spread through the land week by week.
From this COVID 19 it would certainly seem,
That elders would suffer the most,
And would soon take its toll, on many a soul,
Raising alarms coast to coast.
It’s a national scare, but we’re all aware
That Washington’s help was delayed
It seemed that Fox News, shaped the President’s views
And that too much a fuss had been made.
“It was all a big hoax, a democrat joke’”
Said the self-declared (un)stable genius.
But what to expect from this physical wreck,
Who carries his brain in his penis!
This “Chinese virus” causes symptoms that tire us
And was really not much more than a cold,
But as the stock market fell, alarms raised as well
And finally, the President was sold.
What was only a cold, was killing the old
So a National Crisis declared,
We must all keep our distance, there now was insistence,
And finally the public was scared.
As we shelter in place, keeping hands from our face
With hand sanitizer to inspire us,
We give thanks to “The Creek” and the staff who all seek
To protect us from this awful virus.
