Essential Services

First of all comes breathing

That’s the heart of our story

Yet maybe it isn’t qualifying

As it’s involuntary.

So here we go, only a partial list

Add your own as you may wish:

Walking, talking, laughing, smiling

Hugging, kissing, joking, listening

Being ironic, occasionally scowling

Singing, surfing, being beguiling

Clowning, dancing, apologizing

Coming, going, visiting, staying

Not included this time around

Are spelunking, and especially undertaking

No activities, please, that are under the ground.
