The Gamut of the Fairy Tales

COVID 19 and 2020 , what a time it is !! Running through the gamut of fairy tales , I feel like the girl in every fable .

Sleeping Beauty , With COVID 19 we have bitten off , More than we can chew . Lodged in our throat, it can be fatal if swallowed, I am told . In lockdown we await the kiss of a vaccine, To wake us from this nightmare.

Cinderella, Svelte and stylish we were , until COVID 19 . Now gone are the days of ‘Ella’ And ‘Cinder’ is here to stay . Well groomed we are no more , But in the kitchen all day , Covered in soap suds and grime , Pots and pans our companions.

Rumpelstiltskin , With COVID 19 our resources are depleted , No longer do we have endless means. Gourmet meals we try to turn out , With limited groceries and skills , Much like spinning flax to gold .

Rapunzel , With COVID 19 the salons and spas are shut , My hair has grown like that of Rapunzel. Locked away in my tower , The terrace is my only solace . My long braid I can let down , For any masked one who dares to call .
