FRAME IT
Prompt - Frame It : Write a short poem or quote that would make for good wall art in your home.
There's an old couple up in the Heights
They sit and she knits and he writes
Though lockdown persists
Their lives get their twists
Watching gory police dramas at night
-------------------------
Lockdown Love = Tolerance
------------------------
Lockdown Love = True love
-------------------------
Sick and breathless and sweaty sheen
Of covid we had plenty
A lifetime challenge come around
Surviving Twenty Twenty
------------------------------
I won't suggest this poem's great
I'll never rival Ovid
But I had a need to use his name
As the only rhyme for covid
----------------------------
As Caps fans we both had to learn
To ignore all accusers
They might be losing all the time
But at least they were OUR losers
--------------------------
Stuck in bed, stuck indoors
Emerging to discover
No gigs, no plays, no cakes to eat
A world gone under cover
No-one to see, not much to do
Going out became a bother
Though 2020 did it's worst
We always had each other
-------------------------------------
