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.

“No” is a Very Useful Word

for solicitations Quite Absurd.

The solution works where-ever you go.

Just give the simple answer:  No.

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.
