Towrope Tensions

Relationships will be severely-tested As everything gets disinfected It's only in its infancy, And everyone is shouting conspiracy! And eerily parents don't talk openly, anymore Their children listening at the door Towrope tensions they're-mounting Something's-got to give or break I hear the clock, the seconds counting And just like Faux leather, it's a mistake To keep schtum, and hope the cracks Don't open, now we're-all-requiring Synthetic gloves and pandemic masks And even our hearts and souls - rewiring. It makes no sense to go on-calculating While the daily cost is still increasing, Upward and upward the death toll is rising; Speak to me darling, why are you crying Relentlessly, sighing.
