Virus At Bay Poem by Douglas Scotney
Virus At Bay
'Fort' is 'Strong'.
'Choes', pronounced 'keys',
was an ancient Greek
wine drinking contest
named for the pitchers
the contestants took along
to drink from.
Each choe
held more than a quart.
Surely, back then,
wine wasn't so fort.
When visiting a friend
again is okay,
take your own choe
and keep the virus at bay.
