Sonnet: Quarantine So Bad?

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

I have to say Tomatoes that I really like Lady Penelope’s take on this. There are definitely positives to having to Quarantine as the dear Lady points that out in this week’s Sonnet from Suburbia, “Quarantine So Bad?”

 

Quarantine So Bad?

Admit it, was the quarantine so bad?

Just think of all the hours that we saved

on lunches we all wished we’d never had,

occasions when we could have misbehaved.

The social obligations that we missed

were no hardship for me, I’ll tell you that!

And cheeks that I would rather not have kissed

did not present themselves.  No fallow chat!

There were some times when my own solitude

did overwhelm me in my living room.

Was easy to ramp up my attitude

and find a willing victim out on Zoom.

‘though quarantine for most was quite the bummer

I wished that it had lasted one more summer!
