Wifes Day

WIFE’S DAY Will guys still be flocking down to the supermarket with gloved hands and a mask hair astrew, wild eyes the surprise that it’s wife’s day I mean mother’s day today Will he shake the box of Russel Stovers longing to pinch each lady, find the filling inside? Will he flutter through the leftover cards, find one amusing or overly mushy or singsongy? Will his glazed over eyes dart back and forth in front of the flower case a fresh dozen...one’s wilted will she notice? Will one with perfectly white teeth grab two steaks and a bottle of bouquet bless the barbeque and grab a superlicious cake? Or will covid-19 excuse the display of affection, confuse the confectionary confection, throw petals to the wind, take a bite out of mother’s day sails? As for me I received a simple gift, a coffee cup. Simple and attractive, my love for coffee noticed, my love for God — the saying says it all. Don’t buy me off Offer a loving cup He did! 5/10/2020

It certainly does make you wonder. "will covid-19 excuse the display of affection, confuse the confectionary confection, throw petals to the wind, take a bite out of mother’s day sails?"
