In March I was ready for Spring

In March I was ready for Spring


In March I was ready for Spring,

By April the world was suffering,


I was stuck in my little house, 

For weeks with my loving spouse.


Work continued through the gloom,

Online with a tool called Zoom.


Wife and son in the other room,

Teaching, learning and meetings of doom.


“You’re on mute!”  “Click your mic!”

“Damn it! Shit!” “Sorry, I meant Shoot.”


In March I was ready for Spring, 

By May, I finally found toilet paper.


June came and Spring was spent.

Life continues, pandemic bent.


July came and went,

I wonder how my Summer was spent.


In March I was ready for Spring, 

By April the world was suffering.
