Rain Check Blues

Was thinking ‘bout some travel

Some places I might go

Then COVID came a callin’

And put my moves on hold

 

Thought of working part time

Or volunteer in town

But virus is a stalkin’

So better hunker down

 

Friend gonna have a party

Outside and on his deck

I told him sorry buddy

Gotta take rain check

 

Want to hire some workers

To put down wooden floor

But wife don’t want ‘em inside

While fightin’ COVID war

 

I’d like to visit family

And give some folks a hug

No way when people dying

Of Coronavirus bug

 

Flying sucks in best of times

And these times ain’t all that

Guess I’m stuck Oahu

With wife and dogs and cats

 

Woe is me

So pitiful

To complain my dismal lot

I know I got it easy

In this dark and twisted plot

 

Let’s hang in there smiling

Or trying not to cry

No guarantees in this life

Except one day………(drum roll)……..we die
