Not If, But When

I still have to pinch myself, throughout this strife
Ive experienced, many unusual events, in my life
But quite as surreal, as this sharpened knife

Seen many documentaries about pandemics, over the years
But it's hard to fully comprehend, all the fears
How strange, and scary they really are, as xmas nears

Most of these programmes, declared at their end
"Not if, but when", although "When" is now, my friend
Pinch myself. "oW!" hope it comes to an end

The year is nearly over, and we'll soon enter 2021
And hopefully soon, we can again have some fun
As Spring brings new life, and a nice warming sun
(And that "Not if, but when, will hold a positive interpretation)
