Gosh, I Can’t Complain!

So work wanted us to write a poem on how we cope in the pandemic. This was something i quickly put together. 


Gosh, I Can’t Complain!

 

At last I think, I have a job;

At last I think, I am losing weight;

At last I think, to re-open the travel list, again!

Sudden comes the pandemic, gushing in to control my every breathe

I can’t work in a shared room, I mumble – gosh, I can’t complain, I have work to feed my brain;

I can’t go to the gym, I gasp – gosh, I can’t complain, I have food on my plate (and some chocolate too);

I can’t travel anymore, I whine – gosh, I can’t complain, I live so close to the sea;

I miss my space, I sigh – gosh, I can’t complain, I have a home to live;

My whole routine is thrown sideways, I grumble - gosh, I can’t complain, I am alive!
