Thought of doing a parody poem based on Robert Frost's "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening". Here is the original poem followed by the parody :)
Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
Thinking about COVID on New Year’s eve
Whose fault this is, we think we know
There are a lot of theories though;
Some say nature is striking back -
2019 sure seems a long time ago.
At first I found it very queer
To see people masked from ear to ear;
Finding toilet paper and sanitizer
At the grocery was cause for cheer.
Some people had a different take;
That the whole thing was a conspiracy, a fake
Some decided to take up hobbies,
Insta was full of sourdough and cake.
The scars of 2020 will go deep
Making a vaccine, was a mighty leap
The price we paid was very steep,
There are miles to go before we sleep.
There are miles to go before we sleep.
