PANDEMIC DESPAIR

It will end so do not despair.

You do not need bad dreams.

There is no need for screams.

The 'there' that is there is air.

You can make the best use of it by breathing,

While your lovely smile you are unsheathing,

And seriously social distancing and masking to protect against the virus and all its harm.

You can then be needled (not by me), but when you receive your vaccine shots in the arm.
