Wrinkled Shirt

My shirt is wrinkled – who will see? No one but my spouse and me And grandkids, via FaceTime’s screen; But hey! At least my clothes are clean. My bed is made, the sink is bare. It isn’t like I just don’t care, Though staying in, it’s quite a job To stop from living like a slob. My husband vacuums, I wash clothes. We’re making do, so I suppose A wrinkled t-shirt’s no big deal – My wrinkled face has less appeal!

Ilene, the way I see it, each face wrinkle is its own story of laughter, loss, and adventure just waiting to be told. Here I am in my sweatpants and fuzzy sox, loving your write! My daughter, now working from home using FaceTime, says "Now every day is pants-free day!" Ha!

Funny and pleasingly lilting, but still down-to-earth and applicable to many of us during this trying time Ilene -- a fun yet apt social comment.

Well, this is quite a 'wrinkle in time.' ~ Gershon
