Things Out of Reach

Going out on trips
Everyone enjoys them
Enjoying a snack and coffee
All family get togethers
Bride and groom wedding blues
Eating out we all enjoy to do
All shopping malls closed up
No book store opened anywhere
No road trips airports closed
Nor the beaches or camping
The schools are all closed 
Only computer learning
People are out of work 
No money coming in
Makes it hard to make
ends meet
I can go on and on
It is the virus fault
These things are out of reach
No one knows for how long

Hello Judy, yes it is scary. Also crazy as well. After the 4 weeks are up there is another 3 weeks of lockdown. I hope it is the last of it. Are you in lockdown where you live? Blesising. Darlene

Sadly that is the situation. I wonder how long it will last. But someday it will change for the better I'm sure.

Yes, sweet Darlene, it’s been quite the year! Not a year per usual. One outside our imagination.

Yes, many things now out of reach due to virus taking control. But is it the fault of the virus or is it mankind's faulty ways? All the best. Tony.

I hear you, Darlene; they took the computer virus control, out of electronics, and into the world of flesh and blood. I can't be the only one who sees this. Masks are over-priced, at any price.

Hello Joe DiMino, yes i agree with you taking the virus out of electronics into the world of flesh and blood. Your not the only one that thinks this way. Enjoy your day my friend.

All the countries leaders, need a kick in the pants. People are gaining weight and we are social beings. I really love the phrase....things are out of reach. Very clever, ny friend. Aox on them all. I think we will never see freedom again. People over 100 survive Covid. Nice phony game they set up. I believe none of it, Pangie xxx love the poem.
