ALL ALONE THIS CHRISTMAS

— Written on Christmas Day, 2020

We’re all alone this Christmas
No one’s dropping by
We’re both feelin’ kinda lonesome
In our hearts a sad little sigh

But at least we have each other
No matter how bad things’ll be
We can curl up with each other
And gaze into the lights of our li’l Christmas tree

Outside now it’s raining
There’s not much Christmas cheer
But there’s no point in complaining
Though we’ll have not a guest this year

Neither friends nor family
Except by zoom, two-dimensionally
No hugs nor kisses
A socially distanced enforced formality

We’re all alone this Christmas
Not a soul is dropping by
We’re both feelin’ kinda lonesome
In our hearts a sad little sigh

But at least we have each other
No matter how bad things’ll be
We can curl up with each other
By the lights of our li’l Christmas tree
