Sometimes I hear a lullaby

just floating through my head

and I hum that little lullaby

as I snuggle in my bed.

The Queen and I make quite a pair.

We both rule over our Realm.

She has a bigger scope than I,

but we both are at the helm.

She has her jewels, palaces, and minions.

I have my yard, my cats, my opinions.

The Queen and I have a lot we share.

The Queen and I make quite a pair!

My glasses are befogged above my CV mask.

I know that face protection is a necessary task.

But with my foggy glasses, I just cannot see!

Corona Virus Vision has a grip on me.

I think you need some happiness.

I think you need some love.

I think you need some sunny skies

with rainbows up above.

I think you need some laughter.

I think you need some fun.

I pray that this day blesses you

with each and every one.

I need some Soul Rejuvenation.

I need a COVID charging station.

I need a place where the dreaded Virus

doesn’t totally consume and tire us.

(A Reprise “Thank you” to my Genealogy Book Club for the Giant US Puzzle after the completion of a sanctioned 10K walk in all 51 US Capital Cities).

It was a misty, moisty Monday.

I had nothing much to do.

I rummaged through my storage,

and suddenly thought of you.

Tucked away upon a shelf,

much to my surprise,

I came across your Puzzle Gift—

a delight to my very eyes!

I opened up the box again

(though I’ve worked the puzzle before).

I got the scattered pieces out

and crawled around the floor.

I put the States in order

and remembered every city.

I thought about the walks I’ve made…

some ugly, most quite pretty.

I want to thank you all again

for that special gift to me.

And thank you for the fun tonight

when you jogged my memory.

I need some retail therapy.

I need a change of scene.

I need to browse the shopping aisles.

I need to spend some green.

I need to get out of the house.

I’ll gladly wear a mask.

I need a change of scenery.

Is that too much to ask?

I send you joy and love each night

so you will know the world’s all right.

I send sweet dreams to hold you through

and peace and comfort come to you.

My friend, Rene, she doth persist

in off’ring to teach me Zoom.

And, I, forsooth, I do resist,

this stuff in my living room.

The world doth keep a frantic pace

with new technology.

But I keep quill and ink at hand

so I remain Zoom free.

My very fav’rite foods to eat

are cookies, cakes, and candy.

When my cupboard is amply stocked with these,

I feel just fine and dandy.
