Getting the Covid Vaccine

As soon as I heard I had a golden ticket
I jumped in my car and quickly seat belt clicked it
I drove to the pharmacy as fast as I could
Faster than an oldster like me ever should

I ran in wearing my mask, and booties on my shoes
People were social distancing, our masks were in blues
I filled out the form and yelled hip hip hooray!
Going to get the Covid vaccine right away!

The pharmacist smiled, he was glad I was happy.
He said bring in your man, making me feel sappy.
So I brought my husband in at a quarter to three.
And they also gave him the vaccine, delighting me!

Me too double jabbed and still wear a mask in the shops, imagine if everyone did that the virus would have nowhere to go. Tom

We had them in March; I was determined to get them as soon as I could.

Yay! Yay! Me, too. I got mine as soon as I possibly could. But, I still have dear friends I cannot convince it is the right thing to do. I worry about them so much. Why do they put this worry on me??? I don't know. Please, everyone who reads this, get vaccinated!!!!

I let worry die a natural death about twenty years ago when I realized how much it was hurting me. It never helped me at all.

I have to admit it was notoriously difficult to get in March, much easier now!
