PAUSE, not TILT
Social distancing = family bonding
Life is on PAUSE, not TILT
Don’t bang the machine, it will go on tilt
Breathe,
Check in, with family, friends,
Yourself
Keep Calm, Be Clean
I can’t subscribe to panic, there is no % in it
Causational attitude paradigm shifting germa-phobia
Wipe the touch pad world down
Social distancing = family bonding
Forced stay-cation allocation of time resourced projects
DIY home improvement, reading, learning, board games
Mexican Train, Rummikub, Monopoly, not Monotony
Euchre, Spades, Rummy 500
Hearts
Wonder how many babies will be born in 9 months?
Prepare, concern, worry without wallow
Subtle environmental warfare, nature or man-made?
Column A & Column B
Social “Media” Distancing but still useful
Turn off the news-mostly
Remember don’t bang the machine
Paaaauuuussssse
NOT TILT
Recreate outside, Lyons Style, bike, walk Old South St Vrain
Hoops, have a catch, and a fetch
Enjoy the view
Local, helpful, kind, smiling back
Our Community, a Silver Lining
Good Health, Big Love

Thank you, Martin!
Wonderful, thanks!
Martin, it’s so great to see you staying with the Recorder in it’s new form and still giving us your wonderful word play.
Thanks, Martin. The poem captures the situation so well, and yet leaves us feeling a little more calm.
