Feeling tired, low energy
No Mojo to speak of
Whatever effort I can make
Should surly be enough.
In the bed, on the couch
Just want to lay back down
No need to be with friends or foe
So please don’t come around.
Pull down the shades, turn off the lights
Leave the TV on
Leave the package on the porch
And please stay off my lawn.
Too much to do, can’t bear the thought
Just want to be alone
Don’t want to try to muster up
The will to leave my home.
So sick of conversations
Meaningless and trite
Another noble gesture
By someone I don’t like.
The cafes and the restaurants
Whose prices are sky high
Leave me no alternative
But, to pass them by.
Eating out …. once pleasurable
Is now a gambling game
Who’s positive for Covid?
Who’ll be the one to blame?
The waitress has the sniffles
Why won’t she wear a mask?
Afraid to tell the customers?
I have the right to ask.
Best to eat what I prepare
I know where I have been
Won’t worry about the viruses
Infecting me again.
My soup is warming on the stove
I have a loaf of bread
Crusty, warm and tasty
Goes great with olive spread.

I can so relate to all of this! Great poem, by the way. And now, I’m craving a nice bit of home-baked crusty bread …

Oh yeah … it is DEFINITELY soup weather!!! 10° today, but thankfully it’s not below zero like it is in much of the nation! Been having a lovely lazy Sunday, wrapped in a blanket just reading and snoozing! ❤

Wrapped in a blanket just reading and snoozing ….sounds like heaven to me! 10° ? Where do you live? Ohio? Sorry, I forgot!
Too cold!!!! Brrrrrrr! It’s 60° here in Cape Canaveral. 48° in Hudson, New York!
So great to be talking to you again! 💙👍💙

Yep, just north of Cincinnati, Ohio. Yes, it is too cold!!! But, I’m thankful that we have a warm home, the electricity hasn’t gone out, and it’s not -40° as it is in some places. Sigh.
I agree … I’ve missed chatting with you and am so happy to be talking to you again, too! ❤
