Chetta Achara Poet Verse

Alberta Texas Florida Covid

Anti-social behavior is a trait of intelligence in a world of conformists.
                                    ~Nikola Tesla

I've never been
To Alberta, Texas or Florida,
No, I haven't been
And I don't intend to go.

It's not Covid
That keeps me home
It seems that will be with us
Until Eternity comes.

It's a virus you know
And will mutate 
In dozens of ways,
Survival of the fittest...

I am an almost hermit,
I don't like most people
Except for Mom,
Of course.

I venture into town
Only when I have to,
Covid hasn't changed 
Me much at all!

Like Twain once said,
"The more I learn about people
The more I like my dog!"
In fact, all five of them,

And a couple of cats.

A little itty bitty kitten. Her name is Tiger Lily. She has a 2-floor “Stranger Things” playhouse. :) Chetta Achara December 15, 2021 at 6:33 PM I am a dog person, but recent my brother, whom I love with, has rescues four kittens and the momma. They are great,
