PROGRESS REPORT

I have finally used up all my COVID toilet paper Am still finding MASKS in various places The rubber glove supply is slowly waning The alcohol wipes dried up six months ago The foot prints in the supermarket have totally faded I’ve even seen people in the checkout lines talking So much for six degrees of separation Hand shakes are making a comeback While fist and elbow bumps linger

You had me at first line, ha one of those guys, I always wondered what toilet paper had to do with covid ? The jab and masks did the job and I'm grateful for that Unlike the fool who purposed annoculating ourselves with bleach oy vay

(No) thanks for these memories. Can't even imagine 2020 or 2021 anymore. It was all so utterly juvenile, and clearly politically motivated by that party of the hee-haw. ~ gw

Yep. It made a big impact. Your poem should be enshrined so that we never forget.

I was laughing at the first line! I think humanity has realised that loneliness can be worse than sickness. J

Yeah, and all the lies and scare campaigns and threats to our liberties and livelihoods will never be forgotten. The Faucis of this world who were responsible for the deaths and psychological harm of millions got pardons from President Autopen. 99% of “conspiracy theories” were proven to be true. And they would do it all again.
