Let’s go read a book: a poem

Weather’s bad, the news is bleak,
It’s been a bloody awful week,
So fed up you can barely speak…
Let’s go read a book.

Every day is Groundhog Day,
Things are really not okay,
Wishing you were far away…
Let’s go read a book.

The situation is extremely severe,
Sadness, worry, paranoia, fear,
Apocolypse is surely here…
Let’s go read a book.

      Thanks! ha ha. I am reading more books than usual (got through 10 this month I think!) due to being at home all the time.

      Thanks so much for your kind comment 🙂 It was a random idea I had and it was going around my head for a while before I wrote it down.

    Love your poem! It says it all and made me smile (and nod my head). Thanks for sharing.

    Loved your poem. But… shouldn’t it say “Wishing you weren’t far away”?

      Thanks! 🙂 I meant ‘you’ in the sense of ‘I’ – I’m not addressing another person. If you see what I mean.
