March 31, 2020
A bleak rainy day set off the self-confinement plan
The alert message read "Stay Home," if you can
An eerie hush fell over the great New York City
I had never seen it so deserted, an awesome pity
Rare and unsual emails popped up to declare
World treat of the virus, must take special care
Several major museums temporarily did suspend
And a major fund raiser Gala saw its sad end
Saint PAT's parade and sports a "NO Show"
Loss of these pleasures were a mighty blow
A celebrity lunheon at a orestigious Club
Suddenly cancelled but offered a sub
All social events were suddenly curtailed
Blank calendars on a new course derailed
A center closed to public until next month
Update will be provided before were sunk
March 20 celebrated the first day of Spring
The glorious colors nature, my heart did sing
Safety from the virus kept us in check
To stay home in safety with no regret
Small price to pay to prevent the spread
The month of March I'll never forget
But the March winds are singing a farewell song
Spring is eager waiting at the gate to come along.
