Gershon Wolf Poet Limerick

Fashion Statements

We wash our hands twenty times a day
Singing Happy Birthday twice, all the way
  Scrub down our whole home
  Don gloves when we roam
Hoard TP in all colors except gray...

But now that's passe, it's masks we must wear
Some are elegant, though what do we care
  Our fam'ly looks cool
  At work and at school
My wife even gets wolf whistles and stares

Lindsay Laurie February 3, 2021 at 7:18 PM Hello Gershon … good to read your light hearted limerick while all around us the gloom continues. The masks are back here today after one case detected - thanks Gershon - Lindsay

Jan Allison February 2, 2021 at 9:08 AM what a fun poem , we have got to find laughter in lockdown GW:-) hugs jan xx Gershon Wolf February 2, 2021 at 3:34 PM I think you've got the words for a new acronym: LIL, Laughter in Lockdown! :) gw

Robert Pettit February 2, 2021 at 5:33 AM They had better start distributing an effective vaccine soon. I am sick of living this way. Jan Allison February 2, 2021 at 9:09 AM I hope the vaccine can cope with the way the virus is mutating... only time will tell:-( hugs Jan xx we are now covid free, lets hope other places can eradicate the virus but of course we are only a tiny nation compared to the rest of the world:-( hugs Jan xx

Rama Balasubramanian February 2, 2021 at 3:52 AM Had a good laugh, you have pointed out covid situation in all houses correctly. Second part about mask correct,last line superb. Gershon Wolf February 2, 2021 at 4:38 PM I should have written two more lines. Then you could have flattered me even more. Please know: Flattery will get you everywhere with me. lol. Thank you, Rama, and Happy Days, Gershon

Juliet Ligon February 1, 2021 at 8:06 PM I love the part about hoarding toilet paper in all colors except gray. It gave me a little chuckle. This whole Covid-19 thing is so strange. Gershon Wolf February 2, 2021 at 4:33 PM I probably should have written 'Every color except brown,' -- but that's just too disgusting, even for me! :) gw

Caren Krutsinger February 1, 2021 at 7:20 PM “Wolf whistles” a pun on your name right? A fun read. Gershon Wolf February 2, 2021 at 4:32 PM Yup. Very punny. Thanks, C.K!
