Pandemic Chronicles # 1

Waking up I'm full of optimism
Then about 39 seconds later it's the same mess
I'm always up early from when I was working
I'm still working but there's no work
Wondering how much longer they're going to pay me

Often my dreams are work related
Solving problems
Logistics
Connection to customers
Last night I had an extensive dream about Willie
More on that failure another time

My hair is longer and wayward
I like the back
I'd never grow it out this way if not in lockdown
Thank goodness for gel to slap it all together
Hat and mask
Looking like I'm gonna hit a bank

My dreams kind of suck
Don't look forward to sleep
In my younger years if I went to bed thinking about baseball
I'd more often than not have a sex dream
That was then
I prefer naps, short and sweeter, no dreams
