For me, the goings-on, today
Consume my thoughts in every way,
And should my writing not reflect
These things for fear you might object
Then, I'd be writing fluff instead
Of all the thoughts piled in my head;
And that is not the reason why
I entered this new Na Po Wri.
After all, what's going on
Will surely affect everyone,
At least, here in my country, where
The "string-pullers" do not play fair.
I can't believe the folks who say
That Covid isn't going away;
People cannot live like this--
Life's simple pleasures being missed
And the constant dictates, too--
What we can and cannot do,
Where we can and cannot go
Hooray for states replying, "no!"
But, this small book has just begun;
I'll lighten up and have some fun
With dialogues t'ween people who
Might make you have a laugh or two.
A poem each day, "off the cuff"
With lots of thoughts, still might be tough
To come up with, quick, for this "book"
I hope my goose I haven't cooked.

Author Notes
this will probably turn out to be cathartic for me to a certain extent; at least some of it, but if I can get some thoughts off my chest, then for awhile, I can concentrate on life's humorous moments. There are bound to be some.
