Embracing the Change

After the recent crisis
a return to normality
appears to be
just a mere formality.

Economically alright,
I cannot really moan;
I've been furloughed
and was given a loan.

It is very important
to be in good health
as it's more valuable
than material wealth.

One normally aspire
to be very positive
but vis-a-vis the corona
it's better to be negative.

I am on the right side
of this epidemic blitz
but I haven't any dosh
for a nosh at the Ritz.

I would have difficulty
even for this task
as I'm told it's compulsory
to be wearing a mask.

Things are different
and ostensibly strange;
but all we can do
is to embrace the change.

Something to get the ball rolling, Rachel. Hopefully I'll soon have new ideas; in the meantime I keep ruminating. I am very glad that you are following my progress and thank you for it.

Sorry for my tardy reply, Di, still catching up with things. So much to read and digest. My marbles seem to be still rolling OK which is a blessing. 
Glad you like the jaunty feeling of those lines. Thanks for reading and commenting.
