It’s A Noun, It’s A Verb, It’s A Supermodifier Word

The Only Word For 2020

It’s time again,
To choose a word.
Something familiar,
Or one newly heard.

For 2020,
I’m just not sure,
March to December,
Was quite a BLUR.

Our new attire,
Includes a MASK.
Using HAND SANITIZER,
Is an hourly task.

We SOCIAL DISTANCE,
Apart SIX FEET,
And we ELBOW BUMP,
The friends we greet.

There is INSANE,
And her cousin CRAZY.
While in QUARANTINE,
The days grew HAZY.

An ANXIOUS CALM,
An ELECTION spin.
A brand new CRAFT
,Those words could win.

CORONA’s up front,
Taking the race.
Often PANDEMIC,
Steps into her place.

Then there is NEGATIVE,
TESTING and FEAR.
And nowadays POSITIVE,
Is not welcome here.
