Ilene Bauer Poet Limerick

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!

Rico Leffanta April 29, 2020 at 1:29 PM 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

Caren Krutsinger April 29, 2020 at 6:13 AM 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.

Tom Cunningham April 28, 2020 at 8:50 PM And not a bottle of bleach in sight lol. Ilene for president, you'd get my vote. Tom
