Two thousand and twentyone
Dramatic events clouded the sun
Damaging floods, the worst for a century
But Mother-nature was not the enemy
Again the foreign virus exploded
And Earth’s atmosphere corroded
Our lives were shrouded and uncrowded
Covid even bloated and reloaded
No country was immune
And the World continues to spin out of tune
Here in Aussie-land normality twirls in dizziness
As we wait for next year’s unfinished business
I still haven’t caught up with the new words from years ago.
I read that
“In January 2021, Merriam-Webster added 520 new words and definitions to the dictionary. “
I agree with Eliot on this one. I hope we manage to let go of the ugly, strident, divisive tongues of the last few years and figure out a way to enter this new world with more responsibility and kindness. ❤
Perfection! Happy New Year to you, Beth!

“Another Year Out Of Tune”
Two thousand and twentyone
Dramatic events clouded the sun
Damaging floods, the worst for a century
But Mother-nature was not the enemy
Again the foreign virus exploded
And Earth’s atmosphere corroded
Our lives were shrouded and uncrowded
Covid even bloated and reloaded
No country was immune
And the World continues to spin out of tune
Here in Aussie-land normality twirls in dizziness
