on a soft green moss
somewhere in my country
I saw two rabbits perky together
too currant rabbit-berries in the sand
so true! In my land
then they go out with their mask on by bus
they order sweets and more and the rest, plus
chocolate candies and all sweet
that is definitely not good, no need
they are mothers
they buy the goods
just like the others
for their darlings at home
they can eat as much as they want for the tv,
but those candies are bad for their teeth
these mothers know as the best
but they are not doing good deeds
feeding children with sweets
these children should eat green vegetables
potatoes, rice or barley and little bit meat
just like the new rules after corona time
do you remember that?
or else read the poem
FEAR OF ADAPTING by Sylvia Frances Chan
You know the Dutch Poetess from Netherland
there are the rules and laws of this new dimension
during corona-virus tension
every night before bed,
toothbrushing
shower, and the rest
what is the rest?
For this rest, I never regret
shower with nice fragrant juicy shower gel
in this corona time’s new dimension,
always clean clothes and clean underwear
that does us all very well,
bye children sleep well,
tomorrow your mother comes with the alarm clock again
again the same rituals and the refrain
before going to school first all the rituals
as you have learned from your equals
wash hands with disinfectants
toothbrushing,
showering
and then wearing clean clothes,
also clean socks and clean underwear,
greetings to your school teacher, my rascal,
now my story… really finished, all
