Mercury and Venus Schooled Me

Mercury rolled her eyes and dragged me to my seat Making me sit there for ten minutes I tried to sneak away and she caught me By the seat of my pants She gave me a kick and I landed on Venus Venus was not as kind She had no love for Gemini That was Mercury’s air sign I was much more respectful upon my return A day of cosmic reckoning That will teach me to behave Today anyway; my attention span is weak.

And here I thought you were an excellent student! What a letdown! I'm getting close to coming down, not with the virus, but cabin fever, Karen. My isolation period ends Sunday. Who knows what to expect after that. Thanks for stopping by. Keep safe. / M

Always my pleasure my friend. I was an absolute student in my classes. Teachers absolutely loved me or absolutely despised me. There was no in between.
