House at rest

Week after week
after week
with yet more weeks
are spent in our house, at rest.

Bellies get fatter
Wallets get slimmer

Days become longer
Tempers become shorter

Hair on the pate grows thicker
Patience grows thinner

Boredom feels stronger
Enthusiasm feels weaker

When case counts turn higher
Our hopes turn lower

Would that we could end it sooner
and not have to wait 'til much later.

Meanwhile, as one week passes after another,
We tarry under the shelter
of our house at rest.
