I’m sending you a letter
so you’ll get some First Class Mail.
I don’t want you to pine away –
your spirits sag and fail…..
So here’s a note to cheer you up.
I hope you feel much better,
because the Postman brought to you
your Very Own First Class Letter.
OMG! It’s the Time Change Curse!
Things are going from Bad to Worse.
The time is changing throughout the land—
a change no one can understand.
About our time: Can’t we agree
on just one time, then let it be?
This time change has no modern use.
Apathy is no excuse!
I take my quill and ink in hand
and BEG for One Time in this land.
I lay my head down on my pillow.
I close my sleepy eyes.
Soft, sweet dreams come in the night
with comfort ‘til I rise.
The Rubatino truck has come
and taken the pruning away.
But, I still have so much yard waste,
I could fill a Toter each day.
The Virus spreads through Europe
in its grim, destructive way.
The infection rate’s exploding –
higher, higher every day.
The house is full of candy
that I bought for Halloween.
There won’t be Trick or Treaters,
still….I felt a little mean
not to have some treats on hand
lest a solitary band
of youngsters came out in the night
to play a ghost! – pretend a fright!
So I have candy that I will eat
and have a tasty Halloween Treat!
I’ve ordered up some checkbooks.
I s’pose they’re on the way.
When I get some crisp blank checks,
I’ll pony up and pay.
This October day is grim and dark.
It needs a cheerful little spark.
It needs a lift to bright the day.
And so I’m sending love your way.
They’re selling Mask Extenders now
for us who don’t quite hear.
It’s another Virus item—this one
rides below the ear.
So we add the mask extender
to the items we prepare,
and mark off all the things we need
to go most anywhere.
Now we step outside the house
with shopping list in hand.
We carry a little bottle,
so to sanitize our hand.
We have our purse. We have our keys.
We have our hearing aids.
We have a handy telephone.
We have our walking aids.
We have our credit cards and cash.
Insurance proof in case we crash.
A license shows that we can drive.
A bag to use when we arrive.
We think about what else we need
to help us make our day succeed.
The only thing that isn’t there
is a card that shows we’ve Medicare.
We have our COVID Virus mask.
We’re now all set for any task.
We’ve thought the outing through and through,
prepared for all we want to do.
