Stuck at home for a year now I know
That I kinda’ like movin’ real slow,
While I’m glad to resume
Chats that are not on Zoom
I’ll persist with my easy new flow.
My baby brother and me with Mom, 1957
Oh, I hope we dare gather and play
And yet still keep the virus at bay,
Stuck at home for a year now
Social time is so dear now
Hugs and kisses—are they here to stay?
Yes, I know what will give my heart wing,
What I most want the next months to bring,
As we finally emerge
From a year like a dirge,
I so yearn for a rousing group SING!
I don’t care if it’s car, plane or ship
I just want to depart on a trip
If I do not soon travel
Yep I fear I’ll unravel
Change of scene and I’ll get back my zip!
(So I’m making my plans at a clip!)
What are you planning to keep or toss once you can venture back out into the world?
(I could say a lot more on the subject myself, but mostly it can’t be said via limerick.) Until then, playful writing and art-making are keeping me calm and amused.
What is keeping you calm and amused these days, as you wait for spring to really take hold?
I think I will keep the slow pace, fewer trips to a store, any store and playing games. Of coarse the art and music are ramping up.
Games, art and music–I love it Nancy!
I want to keep ordering my groceries online and picking them up. So easy!
Certainly makes sense, Susan!
