Get the Hang of It

 

 

 

With whom do you hang out?

Certainly not with me!

In this this COVID pandemic

I am trusting nobody.

 

The truth of the matter is,

I do not get the hang of it

And I would also risk to say

It has everybody tricked.

 

So please, no disrespect meant,

But do not hang around here,

Around me is a COVID free zone

Please do not appear!

 

Vaccinated or unvaccinated

Find somewhere else to hang out

COVID is no respecter of persons

And of this I have no doubt.

 

  

 

My advice to you, though,

Would be, “Man, try and hang in there,”

And to all of the protocols

Please continue to adhere.

 

Hang tough, my sister,

Steel yourself for the long haul,

I notice some of the vaccinated too

Are also beginning to fall.

 

You may accuse me of hang-ups

But you have hang-ups too,

I have been watching your behavior

And the things you don’t do.

 

You’ve stopped the partying

You are wearing your mask too,

And especially I have noticed

You never breach a curfew.

 

In conclusion I would advise

That we all determine to hang on,

This COVID pandemic is not forever

At some point it will be gone.

 

As everything else, good or bad,

This too shall pass,

Don’t hang up your boots my friend,

COVID will not last.

 

Protect yourself and each other

Do what you have to do,

And hang in there with King Jesus

And he will bring you through.

 

 

I trust you got the hang of it,

No hanging out but hang on

Hang up your hang-ups if you can

And hang in till COVID’s gone.
