Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Way Back When

Wash your hands thoroughly with soap
   Cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze
Don't hug or kiss anyone you don't really know
   Give folks the personal space they need

We all learned this at home and at school way back when
   They called it 'personal hygiene' in those dark days then

Michelle Faulkner May 15, 2020 at 12:26 PM And history repeats itself all over again! Gershon Wolf May 15, 2020 at 12:41 PM Exactly. The pictures from WW1-era hospitals are frighteningly familiar.

Jenish Somadas May 14, 2020 at 3:41 AM For refreshing old lessons, new teacher arrived.. Ms. Corona..Nice write Gershon.. Gershon Wolf May 14, 2020 at 3:17 PM Ms. Corona has added social distancing to our repertoire, for which some would cover her in tar! ~ 6 feet of separation

Caren Krutsinger May 14, 2020 at 1:50 AM We did call it personal hygiene but we did not have to stay 6, 10, or 28 feet away from each other. And no one mentioned masks or gloves. Gershon Wolf May 14, 2020 at 3:14 PM Tonto took his mask off, and I was never the same afterward. ~ The Lone Ranger

Jennifer Proxenos May 14, 2020 at 12:45 AM So what's new? Great work Gershon! Hugs, Jennifer. Gershon Wolf May 14, 2020 at 3:14 PM The more things change, the more inept medical 'science' seems. ~ Gershon
