A conference room deigned for social distancing

Inspired by a news item that seemed to indicate, however cautiously, that President Trump’s chances of being reelected might be fatally damaged by his handling of the crisis, I scribbled down a few other bits of good news. No mention of Boris, but maybe…

Silver linings

Email traffic is diminishing

I can’t go clothes shopping

I’ve more time for finishing

the novel I’m in

I’m hearing no aircraft

But birdsong instead

There’s been a marked increase

In tea drinking in bed

And here’s what’s exciting

Which I normally lack

Less distractions from writing

And more time to play sax

And more than all that

Without any doubt

There’s an increasing chance

Trump’s on his way out
