A Minor Spring Stall

Big High dome over Canada sending
Air our way, cool humidity descending
So, it's a cool cloudy day here
In a world gripped in fear
World seems mostly shutdown
CoronaV still moving around
Still we look around for a leader
Still all we got is a tweeter
Telling lies to cover his ass
Still giving science/reality a pass
Mixed messages emerge everyday
Cuz no idea what prez will say
Thinks he's smart, we know he's not
Won't listen to advice he's got
Secretary Rex, knew all along
He's really a freaking moron
Still slinging blame, still no plan
Still all sycophants, every republican
So, on mayors & govs. we must rely
And, on ourselves to get by
Hunkering is mostly what I do
Wander woods a time or two
Decided to reach out electronically
Get in touch, see how folks be
First call was a blast
Hope more are coming fast
Seems good time to get in touch
With folks we don't see that much
Can't sit down to share bread
So, text, email or call instead
Hunker down, let's try to stay safe
And, hope we slow viral strafe
Today On Earth
Thanks flowers, for doing your thing!!
We need the beauty reminder

As usual, Indonesia & PNG
Is where today's biggest shakes be
Yesterday Greece, Croatia today
With surprise mag. 5.4 sway
Nevada & Utah aftershocks slow
But, still rocking in Puerto Rico
Up in space, planet show goes on
Not for me 'til clouds move along
That may not happen 'til midweek
As cool & rain turns Spring meek
One good effect virus has had
Our CO2 production not so bad
Amazing how quick numbers change
Planet always ready to rearrange
Inputs & outflows, whatever comes
Earth will tally up the sums
And, become something new
Then we Adapt, that means you
Cuz, Migration now sure on hold
Sadly, death option looking bold
We know planet will continue to spin
In long term, we know it'll win
But, it's still best planet we know
And, we got no where else to go
So, enjoy your isolation
Your stay at home vacation
And, follow the Golden Roll
Stop the hoarding & greed
Just pick up what you need
Today On Earth
