I wash my hands and I wipe my cart.

I wear a mask and I stand apart.

I Vax and Boost when they tell me to.

Is there anything else I need to do?

The COVID number’s climbing.

We are all at risk again.

The masks and Vacs don’t stop it.

We can’t seem to rein it in.

We have reached a bitter milestone.

Now, a million folks have died.

Hopes and dreams have changed forever.

COVID’S still not satisfied.

We’re near a million US dead.

New deaths aren’t even news.

We’ve other things to shock us,

things to baffle and confuse.

Our attention’s moving onward.

Other crises mark our day.

The death toll from Old COVID?

It’s just all So Yesterday.

Our Guv says:  COVID’s handled.

So, at midnight, we’re unmasked.

The worst is now behind us

‘cause we’ve done as we were asked.

Six million dead around the world…

it’s been a long two years.

We’ve hid and isolated

and we’ve raged and shed some tears.

Most have worked together,

done our part, and we’ve complied.

While a few have shouted “Freedom!”

as their neighbors failed and died.

Our January meeting was an intimate affair.

We looked around the lovely room.

Only four were there.

We talked about the book we read,

exclaimed about the weather,

and chose another book to read

when next we’d get together.

The Omicron is rampant.

COVID threat’s still in the air.

But, we could pause and laugh again

as we took time to share.

Thanks, Betty
