Quarantine: The Bright Side (6-11-20)

My gray hairs’ there for all to see
I can’t see whom I want to see
But there’s a bright side
That can’t be denied
I’m using a lot less TP
 
Some days I fear doom and gloom
I’ve run out of backgrounds for Zoom
But there’s a bright side
That can’t be denied
I’ve tidied up all of my rooms
 
To restaurants we cannot go
Cannot go out to see a show
But there’s a bright side
That can’t be denied
My credit card balance is low
 
Food shopping causes much stress
I’m tired of puzzles and chess
But there’s a bright side
That can’t be denied
Nobody cares how I dress
 
The gym is off limits to all
It’s not looking good for Baseball
But there’s a bright side
That can’t be denied
I know not to ingest Lysol
 
Week at the beach won’t take place
My life now is in cyberspace
But there’s a bright side
That can’t be denied
I won’t need to buy a suitcase
 
When we can travel’s not clear
These past months have felt like a year
But there’s a bright side
That can’t be denied
The air in our cities is clear
 
I can’t stand to listen to news
I struggle to fend off the blues
But there’s a bright side
That can’t be denied
I still can get my wine and booze
 
I’m not very good with the clippers
I find it hard to remain chipper
But there’s a bright side
That can’t be denied
I can spend all the day in my slippers
 
Some days I don’t want to cook
Deliverers charge just like crooks
But there’s a bright side
That can’t be denied
We have adult coloring books
 
Twitter has gotten more vicious
Days getting more repetitious
But there’s a bright side
That can’t be denied
My sourdough bread is delicious
 
The news has too much DJT
Zen is not my cup of tea
But there’s a bright side
That can’t be denied
I might get an online degree
 
Trader Joe’s has a long line
No refunds come from the airline
But there’s a bright side
That can’t be denied
Vineyards can deliver wine
 
And now I have run out of flour
I feel I am losing brainpower
But there’s a bright side
That can’t be denied
Costco has a senior hour
 
My yoga mat’s staring at me
My piano is now out of key
But there’s a bright side
That can’t be denied
I managed to vote absentee
