Sunny & Cold
Will Corona unfold?
This SUCKS
March 16
Hope you have another productive day.
I’m off to the laundromat, YEAH!
Could this possibly last all the way to MAY?
March 18
Corona-Corona– Shame on you
You are a bore and a bully too!
March 19
COVID 19- -Why you so mean?
People freaking out
Like I never seen!
March 20
Ducks serenely rise and drop on the incoming swells.
No Corona concerns
Lucky Ducks
March 22
33 degrees -with a stiff biting breeze – birds sing in the trees
1 for 3 is good, in baseball, and in life, me thinks.
Count your Blessings.
March 23
The days are long & boring too
You never know how I miss You
Nothing is so hard to do.
March 24
What is there to say on a gloomy day?
The door is shut and the windows closed,
Yet, I can hear the Cardinal’s song.
Down came the rain
To the flowers’ gain
Their gain is my pain.
March 29
The days are too long & too boring
Too much of the time I spend snoring.
I cannot pretend
That in the end
There’s too much of life I’m ignoring.
March 30
Can’t sleep past 4
Exercise on the floor
I hear rain outside my door
This is such a painful bore

Beach Haiku:
The Ocean’s artwork
In sand on a lonely beach
Nature’s Masterpiece.
April 5
I hear the B.S. flowing – from the leader of the free world
What he sez I find – so obscenely absurd
I’m stuck in COVID Prison – The time keeps dragging on……..
I dread the isolation – At the crack of dawn
Life was always hard – But a least we had some fun
Now life is so uncertain – I’m not the only one
Stuck in COVID Prison – It’s a daily grind….
My only hope this morning – is some Joy I’ll find.
I know I have been blessed – I know I’ve had my day
But I don’t understand, just how it got this way
Stuck in COVID Prison – How long no one can tell
Stuck in COVID Prison – a temporary Hell.
The birds outside are singing—the Sun is shining bright
I know that in the future—there will be delight…….
Stuck in COVID Prison – How long no one can tell
In Spring Hope is eternal—someday all will be well.

Belly Grumbling
As I go Stumbling
Another COVID Day
April 18
Face Masks & Plexiglass
A New way of doing things
I understand, but still it does sting!
April 20
Find a syringe – Now don’t complain
Shoot disinfectant into a vein.
“I think it will work!” Sez the president
But first write a will, for your descendants.
April 24
Put on some Mariachi – So lively & bright
It’s a delight – In the midst of this blight.
