2020

Dear 2020,

You sneaky devil

I lit a firework for you!

Wore red panties

Ate twelve grapes

Drank champagne

Resolutions made

While you...

Welcomed us with bane

Wildfires were set ablaze

Species gone

A country ached

Growing fear

Beneath your gaze

Lives were lost

A pandemic raged

And you...

Steadfast with our pain

Then you shared

With us your hate

And we mere mortals

Took the bait

Till riots surged

Fueling blame

Forgotten shame

But you...

Sat to gloat in fame

Natural Disasters

Soon took aim

Faith was tested

Panic reigned

Then metal objects

Fell like rain

A foreign craze

Still you...

The year we cannot tame

Oh, 2020

You sneaky devil

I lit a firework for you!

And once again

I'll spark with flame

Panties black

Raisins drained

Tequila strain

Hope maintained

A toast to you...

Better buried in a grave
