Jubilee ... Trapped

 Today’s word is “jubilee” ... the celebration of any of certain anniversaries. (Dictionary.com)

Trapped

We’ve been without our celebrations,

No jubilees or making merry,

No birthday parties or piñatas,

No cakes with frosting topped with cherries.


Stay inside! The plague’s about!

Don’t sing or pray or talk too loud,

Wear your mask when you go out,

And stay away from friends and crowds.


We’re not meant to live like this,

Without hugs and interaction,

We need each other every day,

To find our total satisfaction.
