I'm right there, good poem.
That is excellent.
Thanks for your comments, guys! When I wrote this sometime last year, little did I know how hard "hard times" could be!
Yes, hard times!
We are not through one pandemic (coronavirus) when we will receive another pandemic later this year (swine flu) coming back again.
