Sand Box Insanity

Lifting her mask
she whispered

"I'll show you mine
                      .....if you show me yours"

It becomes an increasingly bizarre game of "MASK ON" - "MASK OFF".

Oh my !! Mask or no Mask, things haven't changed. Maybe she was talking about showing her smile. :) Maybe not. Soft giggle. This is cute, clever and creative. Congratulations John, on Poem of the Week. :) Brandy

good question Susan. When we were kids we had a "girl" who batted in the cleanup spot and got picked for the team before most of us guys.....maybe as kids we were way ahead of the curve...((oH, Oh, not a cheap baseball play on words....}

it is the mystery of "I wonder" that leads to such risky behaviors in youth....

...they were charged with blatant disregard for the safety of others and banned from the sand box under chap 27-3 of the Mandatory Mask Mandate....
