Hunting For Compliments

by sunnilicious



I am sitting on my sofa
And sipping a diet soda
Thinking about this pandemic
How to wish it was a gimmick?

On the tv runs a special
The latest news with potentials
I don't want to understand it
And how do I get out of it?

To those newscasters I must say,
Hanging out with you is always a blast
To those famed doctors I must say,
I bet you sweat glitter

They don't always know what to say
And I wait to see our leader,
President Trump's tie is perfect
It is plain, simple and solid

I see him, but he can't see me
Who would think we play peek-a-boo?
He always has great ideas
My president's one of a kind

To all our government leaders
You're really something special
To all those essential workers
Thanks for being there and caring

I'm blessed to know plenty people
They're truly my breath of fresh air
This ordeal changes me as a person
Thank you for being there as you




Day 16, NaPoWriMo, April 2020 - Write a poem with a bunch of compliments.

Note: Compliments are considered common. I found a list of 100 compliments, but wrote some that are not on the list.

Note: I started writing forgetting to add compliments. But when I remembered, I couldn't stop. How many compliments can you find?

Note: Essential workers, it is a term for the medical workers, food industry, retail workers and every single individual that must work to protect the rest of our country/world through this unfortunate time.
