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.
