Ode to 2020 (Try singing this to 'O Tannenbaum') Oh 2020, Oh 2020! I wish I could explain you. Oh 2020, Oh 2020! I wish we could forget you! Election wars, pandemic cruel How did the world survive you? Oh 2020, Oh 2020! I wish we could embalm you! In wintertime, we sang and danced Our stock portfolios quite enhanced Then springtime came, our bubble burst And summer gave no respite. When autumn fell, we breathed a sigh With Joe and Kamela riding high But Trump refused to quit the race He'll hang around forever. Oh 2020, Oh 2020! The frontline workers, heroes The year rolled on, the death toll rose Our Pres. looked more like Nero Black lives mattered not so much Until George Floyd was murdered Then some woke up to feel the pain And future hope revived again. Oh 2020, Oh 2020! We wish we could explain you Oh 2020, Oh 2020! We wish we could redeem you. The climate crisis coming fast With not much time before we pass Oh 2021, Oh 2021! We hope you will forgive us! Milan Hamilton 12 31 20

*Ode to 2020*
(Try singing this to ‘*O Tannenbaum’*)
Oh 2020, Oh 2020!
I wish I could explain you.
Oh 2020, Oh 2020!
I wish we could forget you!
Election wars, pandemic cruel
How did the world survive you?
Oh 2020, Oh 2020!
I wish we could embalm you!
In wintertime, we sang and danced
Our stock portfolios quite enhanced
Then springtime came, our bubble burst
And summer gave no respite.
When autumn fell, we breathed a sigh
With Joe and Kamela riding high
But Trump refused to quit the race
He’ll hang around forever.
Oh 2020, Oh 2020!
The frontline workers, heroes
The year rolled on, the death toll rose
Our Pres. looked more like Nero
Black lives mattered not so much
Until George Floyd was murdered
Then some woke up to feel the pain
And future hope revived again.
Oh 2020, Oh 2020!
We wish we could explain you
Oh 2020, Oh 2020!
We wish we could redeem you.
The climate crisis coming fast
With not much time before we pass
Oh 2021, Oh 2021!
We hope you will forgive us!
