I’m cleaning out the litter box.

It’s my most un-fav’rite chore.

But you have to have a litter box

if your cats never leave your door.

One thing’s fairly certain

if there’s a litter box in your house.

People who have a litter box

likely do not have a mouse.

I’ve Corona Virus of the Brain.

It’s not so bad.  I can’t complain.

Corona-Virus-of-the-Head

is not the strain that

puts me in bed.

Some days my mind doth think a thought.

Some days my mind doth thinketh not.

Today I got my flu shot.

I went out without delay.

I’m doing all I can to keep

the Virus Risk at bay.

I do not want pneumonia.

I don’t want the common cold.

I wash my hands obsessively.

It’s dangerous to be old.

Today I found my hearing aid

on the floor up at Fred Meyer.

The case was scuffed and had a dent

but it didn’t break the wire.

My ear won’t hold the glasses,

hearing aid, Corona Mask.

It simply is not big enough.

It’s not up to the task,

I couldn’t leave the house today

to do my daily tasks.

I had to stop and run a load.

I had no clean COVID masks!

My tomato eating appetite is on the wane.

Their flavor was delicious.  I cannot complain.

But my tomato appetite’s begun to disappear.

I can’t face any more until this time next year.
