When the Lockdown Is Over

When the pandemic lockdown is over I will be springing from my cage in leaps and bounds. I will run down the street hugging all the neighbors I have never met I will be driving to my grandchildren’s homes to smother them with kisses. I will hunt each and every grandchild down no matter how far I have to drive. Drive! Wait! I can still drive! Hooray for that; I hope so anyway. When the shelter-in-place is over I will go to the stores I used to pass. I will go in and out of every one, to see everything I have ever missed. I will drag home some things I will never use, just like before. I will try one some clothes at fancy clothing stores. I will buy art supplies, and I will paint my happiness all over my house. For when the Pandemic lockdown is over, I will fly from my cage and be free!
