We're Not High Class (Anymore)
We used to spend days at the shore
but we can't go there anymore
self isolation, masks and more
no, we're not high class anymore
There was a time we had money to blow
now out of work with nothing to show
what on earth are we living for
'cause we're not high class anymore
We never had hard times before
now they keep knocking at our door
we just can't take it anymore
now we're not high class anymore
but we can't go there anymore
self isolation, masks and more
no, we're not high class anymore
There was a time we had money to blow
now out of work with nothing to show
what on earth are we living for
'cause we're not high class anymore
We never had hard times before
now they keep knocking at our door
we just can't take it anymore
now we're not high class anymore

I miss the simple stuff of just being able to go out dinner, or a movie or a drink or see live music and not have to think about it very much.
I don't miss the overcrowding and selfish behavior you get with overcrowding. I would trade it not to have Covid life but there are some nice elements of humanity reduced .....

Re: Re. We're Not High Class (Anymore)
Thank you for your comments on this one. I should have left an author's note explaining that this poem was not written to offend anyone. I don't mean that I think you were but for anyone who reads it. It was just an experiment in writing irony. I'm glad you liked it. At first, it looked to me that I shouldn't have posted it. It just pokes a little fun at high society. Life is just so serious anymore.

Wow ... this so resonates ... I am blessed with still working ... at least for now ... but I have friends not so lucky ... the repetition hammers home the desperation of all of this ...
