Holiday Poem 2020

Twas the night before Christmas, it’s the year twenty twenty
There is suffering and bullshit and drama aplenty
Some of us lost family, some of us lost friends
Some of us wondered when the shenanigans ends
Some of us got sick and some of us stayed well
All of us were in some flavor of hell
Epic sued Apple for their outrageous tax
No one else cheered them, for fear of the axe
Quibi had billions, but did not last long
A heck of a price to be paid to be wrong
The price went up for popular streaming
Show seasons got shorter, leaving me steaming
The Magic Leap ended its chase for consumers
Was it eaten by Rona? Or industry rumors?
Speaking of Rona, it left our stores barren
Introduced us to masks, washing hands, and The Karen
Some folks ignored it, some folks took it to heart
Our views here were much more than six feet apart
Many people huddled safe in their houses
And fought over webcams with children and spouses
There is much to say on many things critical
I don’t get to vote here so I won’t get political
While some folks starved and some folks shivered
Jeff Bezos got richer because Amazon delivered
So Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
And hope `21 doesn’t start out with “Hold My Beer!”
