I wanted to write a blues song, but can't get any farther than:
Woke up this morning,
had to stay inside.

"The first line of The Blues is always sung a second time." -- Papa

That's a happy blues. The sad one goes
Didn't wake up this morning...

I had joined a band right before the lockdowns hit here. We were able to get two rehearsals in and we started writing a sing called, "We Got Them Quarantine Blues". I think the singer has a few verses written now.
"They have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul! Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses! Save our brothers! Can I get an amen?"

Oddly enough, I was thinking of box wine.

You've just made me notice that I don't know the plural of haiku (or, indeed, if there is a plural for it).
But I think I can proceed through life happily enough without knowing.

Dammit, you made me check it.
Seems there is no agreement on this, according to Merriam-Webster it is Haiku.
Oxford claims haiku and haikus are both fine.
Cambridge says haiku.
According to MacMillan it's haiku.
But Heinemann also means that both are fine.

Haven't you heard, it's now politically incorrect to point out where a disease originated from. Something about "victimization culture", or so-such BS.
So don't link the Wuhan flu with Wuhan.
Don't link MERS with the Middle East.
Don't link the Spanish flu with Spain.
Don't link Ebola with the river in Congo.
Don't talk about Lou Gehrig's, or Legionnaire's disease...I'm sure I'm missing plenty.

I think it depends on context, personally, but that's as much as I'll say for fear of turning this into a political thread.

I know exactly what you mean.
Your response demonstrates how we're no longer living in a free world. People don't have to self-censor in a free world. Not that I'm pressing the issue--just pointing it out. It's kinda sad.

It’s a five minute walk from my house to the pub. Yet it is a 45 minute walk from the pub to my house.
The difference is staggering!
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

Staggering is fine. Trouble starts when it is crawling! Clumsy people step on your fingers.  
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!

I like it !
It reminds me of an old Russian proverb :
The church is near but the road is icy.
The bar is far but we will walk carefully.
"They have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul! Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses! Save our brothers! Can I get an amen?"

Then "foobar" must be a Russian thing too

..Orthodox Easter Sunday!
To all those of the Russian persuasion.

Is that the name that the Kremlin's PR department came up with for the KGB?

Yesterday I learnt that more than half the ethanol producers in the USA have closed and ceased operations on a temporary basis, due to covid19. As far as I know, they produce ethanol by fermentation. Fermentation produces large quantities of carbon dioxide as a byproduct, which the ethanol producers sell, mostly to brewers, to add fizz to their beers.
Now the brewers are complaining of a shortage of CO2, that is hampering the production of beers! This is getting serious!  Are people going to start hoarding beer now? I noticed on Thursday that almost every customer coming out of the grocery store had beer in the trolley. 
What a terrible place is a pub with no beer!:

I'm shocked ... pass me the Chardonnay please !
|

|
Im shocked!
Pass me the Montrachet.

To tell the truth, I'm more of a red wine drinker but my wife bought a big "bag in a box" of Chardonnay by accident. As the box had a purple color she assumed that it was red wine
But as it is nice sunny weather now, a cool glass of Chardonnay is palatable ...
