Birthday Quarantine Queen

Today’s my daughter’s birthday.
In her group home, there was cake,
Balloons and decorations;
It was fun, make no mistake.

There was pizza, dayglo bracelets,
Blow-up microphones, as well
As some neon light-up glasses – 
Very festive, you can tell.

She was sporting a tiara
And, in photos from the scene,
She was glowing in a t-shirt
Which read “Queen of Quarantine.”

We are grateful to her staff
Who kept the party going on
And we also owe a debt
For all that stuff to Amazon!

Making sport of even the most serious matters is unique to humans and often a needed source of humor. / M

Beautiful and witty. Words of gracious flow, developing extra limbs to double-embrace the mind.

So sweet for the staff to celebrate her big day so extravagantly and lovingly. Sorry you could not be there for the 'Queen of Quarantine'. These are hard days for birthday folks!

A photo is forever, so be sure to note the names, date and event as genealogy sites are filled with photos querying who is in the photo! Happy to know your daughter has survived! Stay healthy! Aloha! Rico

It is darling, Ilene. I have not seen my family since February, and have missed three family birthdays all ready. You make it sound festive and fun, and I know it is not completely satisifying. Glad you were able to see her though and she -you.
