Laughter Is Contagious

Yeah - Me Too

Sometimes I feel like I'm contagious

not like Covid, but the flu

outrageous yet courageous

when it comes to loving you

Cities shut down at the notion

that I'm still brewing here, in town

a potion of emotion

guaranteed to bring you down

*

yeah, I feel like I'm contagious

your ecosystem can't keep up

Feeling a little ostentatious

waiting for a follow-up

Better hurry, call your Dr

bring an apple, when you come

Subway, cab or helicopter

no matter how, just get it done

Add it to the final chapter

we're only starting to have fun

*

I should wear a warning label

won't leave your imaginations, free to run

Keep your hands off of the table

a fever like a hot cross bun

A clinic opened - down the street

vaccines, for all, to go around

So be prepared when next we meet

I'll be the one wearing the crown

slam poetry

    Mic drop! Powerful poem!

  • Great poem, lots of fun. Unfortunately, I believe I'm up to date on my vaccinations (at least as far as the laughter is concerned).
