The theme for this writing prompt was “Home”. So I wrote this song.<\/p>\n

Home, Home, Here I\u2019ll Stay<\/strong><\/span>
\n(sung to the tune: Home on the Range)<\/em>
\nby Harvey Heilbrun 3\/23\/2020<\/p>\n

I work on my own
\nWhen I stay here at home
\nWhen I\u2019m not, I am out in a crowd
\nTelling stories to teach
\nAll the students I reach
\nAnd share writings
\nThat I do, out loud.<\/p>\n

Chorus<\/em><\/span>
\nHome, home every day
\nWhere I\u2019m told that is
\nwhere I must stay.
\nI will try to keep fit
\nThough I\u2019ll probably sit
\nAnd pray soon it will all go away.<\/p>\n

Just before it began,
\nI could shop with a plan
\nFor the things
\nthat we needed like meat.
\nThen the panic struck in
\nNow the stock is so thin
\nThere is not much to find we can eat.<\/p>\n

Chorus<\/em><\/p>\n

Now we\u2019re all stuck at home
\nThough outside we can roam.
\nBut make sure
\nshould we happen to meet
\nNot a hand should we take
\nWe must bow and not shake
\nSocial distance is at least six feet<\/p>\n

Chorus<\/em><\/p>\n

You must do what they say
\nWash hands twelve times a day
\nOr more if you touch anything.
\nPaper products are nil
\nHoarders emptied the till
\nSo there\u2019s nothing left, but for to sing.<\/p>\n

Chorus<\/em><\/p>\n

Where you once were alone
\nIn the place that you own
\nNow they\u2019re people there
\nall day and night.
\nLet us all say a prayer
\nAs they get in your hair
\nThat our world soon will fix itself right.<\/p>\n
