Generic germane guy wallows in Weltschmerz

rew4er2nail

Along luscious green acres banks steep grade

(in close proximity to

Petticoat Junction) naturemade

Perkiomen Valley watershed,

verdant landscape displayed

yours truly, (a garden variety

proto human) arrayed

 

solely donning birthday suit,

whose fifty plus shades hair gone grayed,

i.e. one infinitesimal measly mortal

whiles away hours, laid

back days of his life as

the world wide web turns

comprising second decade

of twenty first century

civilization, where

coronavirus veritably waylaid

furlough afflicts populations feeling betrayed

entire fabric Homo sapiens staid

threadbare existence now best describes

chock full of endemic ennui proliferates,

where vast majority of people afraid

 

to leave their houses lest COVID-19 played

greater havoc, whereby society already upended

unemployment factor at record high since...

Great depression witnessed

courtesy somber parade,

eighty nine years ago benchmarked

from May 11, 2020,

an invisible oppressed heaviness weighed

down the madding crowds

aghast how stock market trade

hit rock bottom making paupers,

ill fate clobbered breadwinners

circumstance none could evade

October 29, 1929 haint no charade,

 

when Black Tuesday hit Wall Street

bitta bing bitta bang bitta played

bitty bitty chitty chitty bang bang

linkedin with irrational exuberance portrayed

American economy supine splayed

versus March 11, 2020 characterized

coronavirus outbreak as pandemic

by the WHO subsequently signaling

Trump cited "fake news" and not dismayed

to expedite drastic measures

none would impede golf, nor Mar-a-Lago

leisure him sipping lemonade

acid test teetotaler - tee zing 'bout

not quaffing electric kool-aid

without getting his doggy dimples in a bunch

 

he grudgingly complied and obeyed

purveyors (governors) and Anthony Fauci

complete United States government shutdown

approximately mid/late March 2020

which undertaking generated brisk business

grim reaper experienced

(still does) protracted heyday.
