To My Friends in Genealogy Book Club: May Meeting

It’s time to put on make-up

and fluff up our drooping hair—

sashay to the Country Club

for our Big Spring Tea affair.

We used to visit with our friends

and sip a glass of wine

and listen to a program

and have a fine old time.

But this year will be diff’rent.

Some will join on Zoom.

The rest of us will spend our day

at home in our living room.

It’s been a Year of Virus.

We’ve still more to get through.

But there’ll be a fine Spring Tea again

in the Year of Twenty-Two.
