Not Quite Ready

Some friends are going on a tour; Invited us to join. You’d think it would be easy To decide - just flip a coin. We’d meant to take a trip with them When Covid reared its head. We got our money back; our friends Rescheduled instead. Since then, they’ve started traveling, For life, of course, is short And though this tour sounds wonderful, I am a worrywart. I’ll mull it over and discuss But think I’m disinclined, So once again, our friends will go And I will stay behind.

I think covid is here to stay Ilene and we'll have to learn to live with it. I was amazed when scientists discovered traces of the Spanish flu in some viruses a few years back. But if you don't feel 100% safe then why put yourself through it. Tom
