An egg is fast and

micro-wavable.

Splash, crack and zap

and it’s on the table.

Today I went out in the sun

to plant my Sweet Pea seeds.

I scraped away the moss and leaves

and pulled up winter’s weeds.

I got my Sweet Peas planted–

an early rite of Spring!

I can hardly wait for all the joy

my blooming Sweet Peas bring.

Tonight a gentle lullaby

drifts softly in my ear.

Its gentle note’s a still refrain

until sweet dreams appear.

Some folks want a world that’s

growing wider, growing taller.

I seem to like my world the best

when it is growing smaller.

Life seems to be the best for me

in my own neighborhood.

Life is pretty quiet and the

folks are kind and good.

I guess my palate’s quite untrained.

I’m very fond of eating.

Most everything tastes good to me

with a bit of mixing and heating.

If this were any ordinary year,

our Kati would choose us a book.

We’d read it with a thoughtful eye,

give the plot a careful look.

We’d study and we’d be prepared

to say what we thought about it.

If we didn’t like it, we’d speak up!

There’d be no doubt about it!

But this is not an ordinary year.

These times are filled with trouble.

We stay alive, we try to survive,

each in our COVID bubble.

So we look ahead to the books we’ll read

and the other things we’ll do,

and we’ll plan our next discussions

for the Year of Twenty-Two.
