In the Future

In the future, I will bask On golden sand, without a mask And if somebody dares to ask, I’ll say, “Connect the dots.” I’ll dine in restaurants so fine And sip the most expensive wine, No mask to block these lips of mine My napkin gently blots. I’ll visit lands beyond the sea Where monuments will welcome me And I’ll go on a shopping spree At all the tourist spots. I’ll scope out landscapes, desert-red; Watch sunset colors bloom and spread. Such wonders wait for me ahead That I can almost plotz. This future, though, is far away For Covid fears are here to stay Despite the fact I can display The proof of both my shots.

You are so lucky! I am glad for you! Sad for many of others though.

I guess many of us are dreaming of the day when we can take off the masks and enjoy life again. I've been putting off a trip and have twice the frequent-flyer miles needed. I share your dream for the future. Biden says, maybe by Christmas. Hugs, Carolyn

Over 2000-years ago, a man had sex with cattle and subsequently spread measles throughout humanity, yet measles are still with us because humans do not like being told what to do and care less about what happens to others. So let us hope the vaccines work for you so you can continue to enjoy your life! Aloha! Rico

We have to find a way to lick that virus and all of its mutant strains so we can live life as we had before.
