A merry-go-round is Covid, friends.
Somehow, we will ride through it.
The CDC has put out info.
Why don’t we review it?

He Never Shoulda Told Her

There once was a woman, grown older,
whose man said her love should be bolder:
“In a romantic sense,
your libido’s past tense.”
His reward? The bold, icy cold shoulder.
The Uncool Kitchen

My kitchen is a clone of me,
and at its very heart
hums one cold, stainless giant,
covered in graffiti art.
A Postcard Wave (from Sue to Dave)

Just jotting down a word or two
to let you know that I love you
and need you, too, if truth were told.
(The bathroom grout is sprouting mold.)
The Crybaby

Oh how loudly, oh how clearly
we can hear you blow your top.
Baby boy, we love you dearly,
but this screaming has to stop!
Election Reflection

Donald J. Trump,
too often a chump.
Both his hair and his skin
are a trifle too thin.
13 Wishes

Plant me beside a mountain spring.
Don’t let the stinging nettles sting.
Lift fallen birds into their trees.
Preserve the ailing honey bees.
Blue Elephant

What is this creature on my chest?
Blue elephant has come to nest.
My lungs are smashed; my heart is crushed.
My whole, wide world in blue is brushed.
