ADIEU TO JUNE 2020: By Polly Guerin
June warmed up slowly like a petulant child
Her days were humid and sunshine mild
She celebrated summer's gentle awakening
With dreams of picnics and beach relating
Yet isolation was still the virus' official order
We kept masks and distance on the border
We zoomed, here, we zoomed everywhere
Our hearts were lonely, so we shared
Father's Day paid homage to honor men
A special PRIDE month was on the mend
Justice without prejudice in the nation
Juneteenth emerged for emancipation
And they marched nationwide to protest
New York was put through the outcry test
The solstice made summer shout out loud
We wore summer shorts in distance crowd
The promise of the dawning of a new day
Made us wish June's troubles would go away
For everything good will happen July to August
With sunshine's golden glow let's join the chorus.
