Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

On Board

Masks are rare but not so coughs,
Yet here we are on board.
Hope that for our travels,
Sickness isn’t the reward.

Made it to the airport early - 
5 a.m., a blur,
Our grandson coming for the ride.
(His dad was our chauffeur.)

Heading south to visit kin;
It’s nearly been a year,
But masked and boostered, here we go
‘Fore chances disappear.

Gershon Wolf October 30, 2022 at 5:40 PM Gosh, am I on a different planet or something? Here in Chicago, the only people I ever see in masks are those inscrutable Orientals. Seriously, nobody wears them, like ever. Oh, well. Have a nice trip!! :) gw

Terry Flood October 30, 2022 at 4:06 PM I’m beginning to think the governments of the world are competing to see who can squeeze the most vaccine into their people. I’m still debating whether to play their game anymore. Have a great trip, Ilene. Terry

Jim Slaughter October 29, 2022 at 2:04 PM You're a better man than I am, Gunga Din. I am experiencing a good deal of cabin fever due to our creepy friend, COVID, but I"m still putting off travel for a while. Ditto what Jeff said re your trip, Ilene.
