Twas the week for before Christmas and all through my farm
Luckily the pandemic has done no harm
Our country is in the middle of a health emergency like no other
It's so bad you can't even travel home to mother
We're shopping on the Internet, not going into stores or shops
But thank goodness Visa, Mastercard and Am Ex have not put on any stops
Our country is in tatters, our democracy on the ropes
While our President who did lose the election in the White House mopes
A huge snow storm is headed on Wednesday our way, so the horses better have a huge supply of hay
We'll bed them down, with oats and alfalfa cubes at night
To keep them warm and happy (so they'll keep winning ribbons for me if they might)
2020 has been an "annus horribilis" - a year we'd like to forget
Can 2021 get here soon enough? Ready set
We'll make the best of what life throws us no matter what
That Pfizer vaccine can go into my arm - no if's and's or but's
At Horse Country Chic we'd like to thank our loyal readers for tuning in
Day after day, week after week, like a good Gin
Make the best of what's left of this unusual holiday season and year
We really have nothing but ourselves to fear
From Alfie, Sega, Apollo, April, Madda - the Virginia contingent wishes you good health
Stay safe, listen to Dr. Fauci please, he's not going to be stealth
We're grateful for all the good things in life
Our friends, family and furry animals - they make it right.
Onward, upward, over and under, we won't try to steal anyone's thunder
Just come back and read our posts every week if you will
And listen to nature, enjoy life, when it's very still.
To all, a final thank you and enjoy this wonderful day.
At my house, the horses of course always have the final say.
(The photo above is a photo of my house, not sure of the exact date, but it is around the turn of the century before the 1918 pandemic. So my farm has lived through two pandemics).
Love it!
