Hungry

I’m hungry for contact; I hunger for friends. I yearn for the time When this whole nonsense ends. I’m hungry for life Like the way it once was. I miss when New York Had that magical buzz. I hunger for normalcy, All that one needs, But my hunger right now’s For a bagel with seeds!

Do not tell me you cannot order one of these bagels! What? I am sorry about that!

Cute one, ilene... I don't really know what to make of the whole thing anymore. Hard to tell what's good information and what's disinformation... Just hope we're not being brainwashed and programmed to surrender all our individuality and all our independence to Big Government.... We'll see what happens. :) gw

Gotta love those poppy and sesame seed bagels! To the greater message, we think alike so this is a new fave for me. Unfortunately, Dr. Fauci says it may be 2022 before we see any semblance of normalcy. I was lucky to dine with a friend today; most days I stay home and just keep praying... Best wishes, Carolyn

hey carolyn! you've mentioned 2 of my favorites, for sure. i believe everything dr. fauci says, so that news is disheartening, but i guess we'll have to do our best to hang in there. my fingers are crossed that change is in the air, though...
