Magic Tricks

A new story I read to the grands Led to magical spells and commands. They performed several tricks Trying hard to transfix, Hiding various things in their hands. Oh, if magic I could engineer, With my powers I would persevere Using wizarding skills Adding all the known frills To make Covid-19 disappear!

This morning's newspaper reports COVID-19 can not survive swallowing. With a fortnight's food in the fridge, perhaps everyone will eat it to death? Aloha! Rico

Love the rhyming and the content, and the fact that you get to see your grands; wonder if it is via facetime, zoom or other video chat though.

Hey Rocky, watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat! If you can pull that magic trick off, I will personally drive 3,000 miles to give you a non-social-distanced hug out of gratitude. Keep practicing, haha! Loved your poem, Ilene, great flow and rhymes and fun.
