On Thursday, the country music legend uploaded a poem she put together that captures the zeitgeist of this unique societal moment quite well, beginning with the line:

“This too shall pass, as all things will. If the virus don’t kill us, the stayin’ home will!”

8. Will/will - same word rhyme "Exact" rhyme. O.K., I'll leave the podium now.

10. She also rhymed "kitchen" with "ambition"

After that, nothing more needs to be said. Dolly Parton = Certified Genius

4. I think that's her way of lamenting that she can't get to her wig-maker

her makeup artist, or her plastic surgeon...

6. Lots of folks are singing the same tune of woes.

I'm not one of them.

11. She's always been in touch with her emotions.

At 74, she still has what it takes.
