Limerick Friday #472: Flicking Matches At A Pandemic -- Day 117

An embarrassing state
Of ignorance and hate
We've made the curve fatten
Instead of flatten
You wonder if it's too late

A chill just out of reach
As we work, parent, and teach
At the end of the day
Say it's gonna be OK
But damn do I already miss the beach

Communicate like blind elves
Leave good ideas on the shelves
Have to be hopin'
We don't think this is open
Another fiction we tell ourselves

The fans were huffin'
The rivals were puffin'
Then State went on a streak
Recruiting some freaks
Then they went and hired Ruffin

"The Wire" is gritty, not tame
The problems remain the same
Times get strange
And names may change
But still the game is the game

Last time ...
