So long American - sung to So Long Marianne

So so long CDC
It’s time 
for you and me
to die from 
bygone disease
(like measles
and TB)
while we laugh 
and cry
we”re the best!
we’ll die
knowing 
we’ll be great again



***


This is what my brain does when 
I wake in the middle of the night 
and can’t get back to sleep.

Kim Rodrigues Date: 2/6/2025 7:14:00 AM Poignant and funny all at once. I was up at 4 a.m. reading my bible then went back to bed. We have to do something in those hours when sleep eludes us. I often write. Hugs and blessings! Enjoy your whimsy! Login to Reply Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Date: 2/6/2025 5:13:00 PM Between whimsy and weeping. I am so terrified for us all, for every living creature on our wee planet. I envy your faith and do so appreciate your kindness and openness. Thank you Kim. Hugs and blessings to you too. xomo
