Poem
I would like to talk about the coronavirus which has caused so many of us to agonize I will stay away from politics except to say…it has made some people act unwise. Instead I would like to stay closer to home…after all home is where I’ve had to be and talk instead how this coronavirus has been effecting me. This pandemic has seized many things we used to take for granted and put them out of reach… On the plus side we have spent more time in our kayaks and on walks along the beach. I haven’t enjoyed wearing a mask…living in this kind of artificial bubble. but if one person is saved because I wear it…it’s totally worth the trouble. I’ve hated social distancing…I miss hugging…for goodness sake I even attended a Zoom birthday party where I could only see the cake! The wear and tear on our car is better…since we only travel to the store. and my hands as well as my jeans and shorts have been washed more than ever before. This pandemic has stopped us from going to the movies… something we used to do religiously… Apparently now we’ll watch anything…even the Tiger King…that’s showing on TV. We are exercising, doing more puzzles and reading…mysteries, novels…almanacs anything to keep us healthy and our minds sharp as a tack. Because this pandemic has effected our memory… for instance…any show we watched when this pandemic began…you know…way back when. we’ve already forgotten what happens in them and so we get to watch them again and again! Deborah says it’s not the pandemic…we’re just getting old…but her theory I must poo-poo I’d rather look at all my faults…and blame them on the flu. Forget where I put my glasses…walk into a room and can’t remember why… have difficulty getting out of a chair…feeling a little less spry… These have nothing to do with old age..I believe it’s academic when it comes to problems such as these…I blame them on the pandemic. And I’ve noticed Deborah doesn’t laugh at my jokes as much as she used to… It’ can’t be that I’m not as funny…and I hate to start another unfounded rumor but apparently this pandemic can effect a person’s sense of humor! In conclusion as we are experiencing something in our lifetime we’ve never experienced before… I know this coronavirus will win its share of battles… but we’re determined to win the war.
