I've never known a year to go so quick
As each day now speeds by clickety click
Australia's winter was but months ago
Now I am Christmas shopping don't you know?
Still carry a mask wherever I go
It's summer now as they said so
We are told it's safer but I'm not so sure
Breathing old breath I really do abjure
But one thing though that really pleases me
Are the girls eyes I regularly see
They know not that seeing them hides my grin
Covid is bad but this point feels like a win
I am afraid everyone will become too relaxed and the plague will spike again. I hope not. Keep cool. NSW is having a heatwave.
ReplyDeleteYes, it was funny wasn't it? You'd think it would have dragged but it seems so sudden that it's nearly the end of the year.
ReplyDeleteHalf a face does NOT communicate as well as the whole. Still, at least a mask allows us to continue communicating, so...mask up, Brother.
ReplyDeleteLove this lighthearted look at Blursday. Women are enhancing eye makeup these days, knowing how important those lingering glances can be. (added advantage to mask wear, soft cursing whenever/wherever you are.
ReplyDeleteIt’s always good to find the bright side of things
ReplyDeleteYay, for finding the good in all this bad. You know, my last round of cancer treatment did something to my jaw and they had to extract some of my teeth in order to take care of the issue. The tissue needs to heal before I can get implants. Your poem made me think of the fact that I can still smile widely, under the mask, without flashing my gloriously gap-toothed grin.
ReplyDeleteOne more reader who's noticed how flattering some masks and veils are to some faces. A friend who's close to my age (50+), but has white hair so is seen as much older, was the one on whom I first noticed it...she looked so much younger and perkier in a white mask.
ReplyDeleteYou wrote several truths there! One, the speed of the year. I'd have thought it would crawl, but it didn't. Good!
ReplyDeleteThanks for awakening us all to the positive points of mask-wearing! Amazinga that the days of enforced sequestering seemed so long, but the year passed quickly.
ReplyDeleteThat one factor of the year that remains stable - the speed of days after October
ReplyDeleteMuch💜love
Such nice humor always helps in hard times
ReplyDeleteI've been told that my eyes smile. I do smile a lot, perhaps they do. I like your picture find, we have a similar one here in the Houston, Texas, area. She was on a full page ad the other day. I was going to put her on for "W" word, Wear, on my Friday meme blog but it didn't get there yet. I will compare, she might be the same girl. If not, still both are nice to look at, I know they are smiling. Maybe up their sleeves, the sleeves aren't showing.
ReplyDelete..
a mask and sunglasses - life in one sense, has never been so easy!
