A poem by Beverly Stock.
I’m traveling down the Habitrail, Banking, then feeling free, Heading straight for the Jackpot, No Kick Out holes ahead of me. Quickly, use a Kickback, To keep me from the Drain! Oh, to be the Skill Shot mole, Speeding out of the orbit, Captive ball near the Gobble Hole. Circuit Boards flashing wildly Suddenly, a Combo I see, There’s the Scoop, use some grit- It feels like Pinball wizardry, But is just my daily life, Dodging Covid-19’s witchery.
