The Sixth Annual Holiday Poem

2020 had it all.

Pandemic spring; election fall.

We live in interesting times

The Chinese say–and they aren’t lyin’.

____________

Trump went down, and we rejoiced.

The quiet middle found a voice.

You couldn’t call it a blue wave

But, for now, our nation’s saved.

_____________

We’re at home and doing fine.

Our Europe trip died on the vine.

We’re spending more time on our deck.

The view is great, so what the heck.

_______________

We’ve retired; our work is done.

We chucked our jobs to have more fun.

I have more time to walk the dog

And do more posting on my blog.

______________

2020–what a year!

Deliverance is finally here.

It’s just eight weeks until he goes

And you won’t have to hold your nose.
