Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

My Calendars

I always bought my calendars
On this date in December.
The prices had been cut by half
And that’s why I remember.

I purchased two for different walls
And one for desk-top viewing,
With different pages every day
To read, as I’ve been doing.

The local Barnes & Noble
Had a lovely huge collection.
I got there when it opened
So I’d have the best selection.

Alas, that store fell victim
To the Covid shut-downs here
Though I wouldn’t have set foot inside,
My paranoia clear.

The calendars, like everything,
I located online.
I paid full-price, but got them quick
And that worked out just fine.

Maurice Rigoler January 1, 2021 at 1:22 PM I too bought a large desk calendar a week ago – to keep from forgetting what day it is and how far into a new month I'm in. At my age it's a necessity if I'm to keep my doctor appointments. / Maurice

Jan Allison December 26, 2020 at 12:42 PM We have started to use an on line calendar which hubby can access on his mobile phone but I want a refund on last year's diary as it hardly got used. Such a shame so many places are closed down because of the virus, lets hope 2021 brings us closure and life can get back to normal once again:-) hugs Jan xx
