It’s Christmas time in 2020,
Who knew toilet paper was as good as money?
I’ve lived in my new house for almost a year,
And even adopted a sweet family of deer.
(don’t judge me, I’m lonely)
If you would have tried to tell me last fall,
That I’d be locked inside these brand-new walls,
I would have laughed and given you a shrug,
Now I bathe in sanitizer just to give you a hug.
No need for make-up, hair dryer or clothes that fit,
I may go from sweats to leggings to ‘dress up’ a bit.
At Thanksgiving, this family of 7 had to decide,
Which one of our children had to stay outside.
I often shop online so I don’t go anywhere,
And is it wrong to wash your facemask with your underwear?
(asking for a friend)
A virus, shutdowns, murder hornets and fire
Have left us haggard and streaked with perspire.
When life throws curves that just don’t seem fair,
I listen to the giggles of toddlers in the air.
Luckily for me, I’m not in control of this life,
Jesus, my savior, is the way, the truth and the light.
To end this year, let’s try to have some fun,
‘You’ve got nothing on me’ shouts 2021!
