Wearing Glasses and a Mask

The virus is stronger
So far there is no cure
We are told to wear a mask
Anywhere we go

Before we enter the store
We must sanitizes our hands
People that wear glasses
Followed by a mask

Have a small problem 
Their glasses fog up
It is the sam problem 
With the glasses and mask

The glasses do fog up
Then we can not see
So we take them off
Wait for the fog to clear

Then put them back on
To see our vision clearly
Although this happens 
I will wear my glasses

So that I can see clearly
The signs and labels
I do not mind removing
my glasses
To let the fog clear up

I rather do this so I can 
See where I go and read

David Smith September 2, 2020 at 5:49 PM You have good point and poetry is best medium to voice it. There may be some product out there to prevent them fogging up without breaking the bank.. glad you are still posting. stay strong. David in NZ Darlene De Beaulieu September 3, 2020 at 5:13 AM Hello David Smith, thank you David, I will be looking for these products. The fogging of my glasses does cause me to have dry eye. So I use eye drops for dry eye. Which helps. Yes I am still posting. I will.Darlene in Canada.

Jennifer Proxenos August 29, 2020 at 5:35 AM Yes the one does not enjoy the company of the other, but yesterday, we went to our one sons as it was my birthday and we stopped to buy a few thing we need at a store, I saw no one without a mask and noticed two people being asked to turn back because they arrived without masks. As for my sunglasses I had on I soon took them off, as they steam up as much as reading glasses. Great poem Darlene, Hugs and blessings, Jennifer. Darlene De Beaulieu August 30, 2020 at 6:21 AM Hello Jennifer, belated Happy Birthday. our glasses do fog up in the stores. I to must take off Thank you. my glasses in the store for the fog to clear up. Wearing a mask is the law in Canada. Or they turn around to go home. Hugs Darleneand Blessings.

Kim Rodrigues August 24, 2020 at 8:06 PM When I took an eye exam the glass was fogging up when I was trying to follow the squiggly line. Darlene De Beaulieu August 25, 2020 at 5:25 AM Hello Kim the same things happened to me. I found it to be annoying. I am glad that i had my tested. It was over due. Hugs Darlene

Joseph P. DiMino August 22, 2020 at 7:29 AM I hear you, and have the same problem, Evelyn; personally, I do not believe this virus is any worse than the common flu which kills also. I do not wear a mask where possible, feeling that I am a senior citizen, one of the vulnerable, and wish someone would have asked me before all this nonsense began. Joseph P. DiMino August 23, 2020 at 9:07 PM I hear you, very sad when children die -- for whatever the reason. There are sadly too many. But doctors need to start seeing patients again in their offices, making other arrangements for the particularly vulnerable. The disease exits but society wont if we keep shutting ourselves in. Darlene De Beaulieu August 22, 2020 at 10:58 AM Hello Joe DiMino, a 6 year old died from the Cornona virus so sad. This illness does exist. I don't know where you live. Yet here in Canada doctors will not see patients in their offices.If a person needs meds it is done from the phone.Enjoy your day my friend.

Evelyn Judy Buehler August 20, 2020 at 8:58 PM Though it's a struggle, it's best to both see and stay healthy. Just have to be patient and stay positive, and I think you're doing that very well. Blessings. :) Darlene De Beaulieu August 21, 2020 at 6:20 AM Hello Evelyn Buehler, yes I am doing this and being positive about it. The key is to stay healthy. Thank you Evelyn and hope Blessings Darlene

Panagiota Romios August 20, 2020 at 2:45 PM I am with Silent One on this. And not a mask sold can prevent it, such liars. But it's a cash cow now. So now they can push us around. The goggles are crazy. People should just wear HASMAT suits. All these tests are another cash cow, there is NO cure anymore than for a cold or flu. Need to stop bowing to government slavery. Life is not meant to be lived in fear. We all have a date with death,.i feel badly for you. Pangie xx Darlene De Beaulieu August 20, 2020 at 3:38 PM Hello Panagiota, It is the law here in Ontario Canada to wear a mask. Yes the masks are a cash cow, but it has to warn in stores, hospitals etc. Life is not meant to be feared I agree, Children must wear masks in schools now to. Hugs xxxx-oooo.

David Kavanagh August 19, 2020 at 3:03 PM Hi Darlene My wife wears the visor over her glasses says it’s much more comfortable and does not fog up, and can be used as an alternative to the mask here in Ireland cheers David Darlene De Beaulieu August 19, 2020 at 3:37 PM Hello David Kavangh, I inquired about the visor when I went into a store that sold them. They told me that entering a store will not except people wearing the visors. So I am stuck to wear a mask. Cheers Darlene.

Silent One August 19, 2020 at 1:37 PM I think people are getting sick of it... Well written my friend. Have a nice day Darlene De Beaulieu August 19, 2020 at 3:38 PM Hello Silent One, Yes the people are getting sick of it. I am sick of it. Enjoy your evening my friend.

Tom Cunningham August 19, 2020 at 1:33 PM Mine fog up too Darlene, if we trip over who is liable, the mask makers, the store or the government lol. Tom Panagiota Romios August 20, 2020 at 2:51 PM Tom is right about the lability.))) but governments treat us like livestock. Hello, we are human beings. Hitler, the monster had no respect for human life...so...wouldn't put it past any government to trash any one of us, sorry, they do not get my respect, Pangiexx they are goofy, Darlene De Beaulieu August 19, 2020 at 3:43 PM Hello Tom Cummingham,I am not alone when it comes to glasses that fog up. I have tripped outside on the sidewalk when my glasses fogged up. I hope the virus ends soon. Enjoy your evening my friend.
