         Three Cheers 4 Two Doses!

 

          Here’s How My Christmas Carol Goes,

          “All I Want is My Two Shot Dose!”

          Til Then I’ll Stand Back from the Crowd

          Soak In the Progress and Be Wowed!

 

          A Dozen Years Before the Great

          Salk Vaccine Could Eradicate

          The Pandemic of Polio!

          Our Feat Took Just Months, Don’t Ya Know?

 

          Still For Some, This Arrives Too Late!

          For Most Two Doses Will Abate

          The Scourge Symbolic of This Year!

          Soon We’ll Live with No Covid Fear!

 

          The Next Obstacle That I See

          Is How to Get to You and Me

          This Serum Meant to Save Us All!

          Humbly, I Say, We Place a Call

 

          Up to The North Pole, to Santa!

          He’s Our Answer!   You See!   Can’t Ya?

          His Reindeer’ve Been to Your Abode!

          Most Are Still In Deliv’ry Mode!

What Our Daphne Sees!

 

Vol. 1  Chap. 563

           What Our Daphne Sees!

 

      I Wonder What Our Daphne Sees,

      If She Picks Up On Little Keys

      And Tries to Draw From Them What’s True!

      I Wonder What She Sees!   Don’t You?

 

      ‘Twas Back In Elementary

      Daphne Became Bella’s Sentry!

      True, She’s Guardian to Us All

      But First, She’ll Rush Toward Bella’s Call!

 

      Here, Under Covid House Arrest

      I Maybe Haven’t Been the Best

      Friend to This Dog!   I Know I’m Stressed!

      I Also Know, With Her, I’m Blessed!

 

      When Mom’s Stressed, She’ll Drop at Mom’s Feet

      Her Running Leash!   I Think That’s Sweet!

      Mom Can’t Always Head Toward the Trail

      But That Move Makes Our Mom’s Stress Pale!

 

      I Wonder, Does Our Daphne See

      That Isabelle and Mom and Me

      Love This Brave, Smart, Kooky K-9

      Member of This Gal~Clan of Mine?

Covid Night Sweats!

Vol. 1  Chap. 562 

    Covid Night Sweats!

 

I Woke Up Like I Hadn’t Slept!

Last Night’s Anxieties I’d Kept

Right In the Forefront of My Mind!

My Mind’s Unkind, I am Resigned!

 

In Dreams I’d Lost My Last Good Mask!

No One Had Answers When I’d Ask,

“My Mask?  You Seen It Anywhere?

“That Was My Last!  I’ve Got No Spare!”

 

That’s When I Saw My Audrey’s Face!

She’d Disappeared!  Girl In Her Place

Wore My Mask and Took My Dog For

A Walk!  They Left Straight Out My Door!

 

Of Course I Started to Give Chase!

You Can’t Take Daphne From My Place

And Expect I’ll Just Let That Be!

Hey Girl, You’ve Got to Deal With Me!

 

Just Outside, Standing, Blocking Me

Is My Old Teacher From Grade Three!

A Voice Like Mom’s Speaks Soft It Seems,

“Bella, You’re Having More Bad Dreams!”
