Nasty COVID -- a Poem for Friday Writings

Ducks don't get COVID -- or do they??
(Muscovy duck likes our yard)

Blogging friend many years 

back before husband died 

Now she has the COVID 

I hope it leaves sound 

COVID is bad.  Troubles 

could leave her with some ails 

I'll tell you of mine, mean 

I've lost my sense of smell, 

sense of taste, and runnies 

There's wet stuff from my mouth 

and from my nose and lungs 

A perpetual cough plagues me 

Then too I forget names 

names of folks and places 

Stuck with poor memory 

forgetful many things 

where we've been, what we did 

how we do it, with who 

So "R Mary," hoping 

Hoping better than mine
