  • New Quarantune: New World

    From Arthur T.@21:1/5 to All on Wed Aug 4 16:40:45 2021
    Title: New World
    ttto: I'll Never Find Another You by Tom Springfield

    It's a new world, outside
    Pandemic's changed us all
    The next plague is waiting
    Someday it will befall
    We don't know when it is coming
    But come, it surely will
    And we'll get through that one too, 'cause we've the skill

    We must always plan for
    Pandemics, plague, and death
    My mask's my escutcheon
    To sanitize each breath
    And my sword is social distance
    My armor's my vaccine
    And my castle keep will be a quarantine

    Into all our lives, now
    Some trouble will betide
    But we'll keep going on
    Through bumpy rides, we'll abide

    We lament that it's our turn
    Why did this happen now?
    But you shouldn't ask that question
    Instead just make this vow:
    "I will take all due precautions;
    I won't get too depressed;
    I'll be merry, and I'll live life to the best."

    Guessing a lyricist's opinions from his songs is as futile as
    guessing an author's opinions from his novels.

    I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I,"
    said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not
    for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time
    that is given us."
