SMOKY COVID CABIN FEVER HEAT WAVE BLUES
(©2020 Sara Glaser)

I lie around sweating in my underwear
I feel like a turtle, legs in the air
Windows sealed up, it’s a Catch-22
I got the smokey Covid cabin fever heat wave blues

To see my friends requires a garden
But sitting outside is like smoking a carton
So I get on the horn and blast the bad news
I’ve got the smokey Covid cabin fever heat wave blues

Last time there were fires, my brilliant idea
Was to do all my walking inside IKEA
But I’m too afraid now of coughs and achoos
I got the smokey Covid cabin fever heat wave blues

I’ve got a floor, I’ve got a roof
Some people’s homes go up in a poof
I shouldn’t complain, but I’m coming unglued
It’s the smokey Covid cabin fever heat wave blues

An asteroid’s coming, is that even shocking?
We’re overdue for a deus ex machina
And if that bastard’s still in, we don’t got much to lose
With the smokey Covid cabin fever heat wave blues
The smokey Covid cabin fever heat wave blues
