The new year came in with a bang.
Some right wing nuts said Pence should hang.
The system held, by just a thread
But at the cost of several dead.

Things got better after that.
The country got up off the mat.
But summer brought the virus back;
The right’s still gearing to attack.
_____________
We’re vaccinated, and ok.
We used the time to get away.
This spring, we went to New Orleans
Where we explored the Land of Dreams.
________________
We traveled through our new home state.
The Blue Ridge Parkway is just great.
From the mountains to the beach,
Lots of beauty within reach.

If it’s history you seek,
I recommend the Chesapeake.
We also flew to NYC,
But Covid cancelled Germany.

What comes next, I do not know.
Biden has three years to go.
If you root for the blue team,
Things aren’t as bad as they might seem.
