Friday Writings - Not really 'dear'

Goodbye 'Dear' Friend,

Goodbye Mr. 2021 

You've been a good old stinky devil 

More irritating than one before

She was so calm, a sneaky old b**ch 

She lulled us with the COVID-19 

Putting some to sleep tight, right away 

A dreamy sleep they'd never awake 

Three funerals our kin, almost four 

You were more forthright  with your business 

Mean, mean, with the COVID but we knew 

Knew where we stood, masked faces, washed hands 

Stayed inside, vaccinated, distanced

Other problems too, those we fault you 

Economies gone bad for us poor 

Riches got richer again they always do 

Pollution, crowding, crime, Climate Change 

Now you're leaving us,  a bigger mess 

So we're glad you're leaving, we won't cry 

Writing for behaving citizens,  

Adios, Bon Voyage, don't come back
