"Time of Covid"
Time of COVID
Mrs J wasn't feeling well
That fateful day we're on our cruise
Seeking medicine she called in
The infirmary's man came
Thermometer and a test pouch
Temperature fine, blood pressure too
But the test pouch said COVID big
Grabbed her things she was whisked away
Next thing she knew room of her own
Quarentine and flu medicine
I her husband tested each day
Day five was told go to your room
Pack your things join your wife, COVID
Ten days it was then lesser now
Cruise over landed South Hampton
Hotel room we'd finish our time
What now is on my mind? Let's see
Lost my taste, smell, some memory
Congestion still, won't go away
My wifey did better better than I
There is another man we talked
Talked with him before quarentined
He was sitting close to the stairs
We were close, did he get COVID??

That is what was scary - the time one was symptomatic before diagnosis, and how it spread during those days..........I didnt catch it during those years, but did get a very mild dose of it last year. I have received many booster shots, which helped me get through it very easily.
Wow, Covid got both of you! Loss of senses is a big deal, Jim. I've never seen it captured in a poem before. I guess people try to forget, but OH so many died and you lived to tell about it. A blessing.
Cruises were a hotbed for Covid back then. In fact, I still know people today who come back from cruises with Covid. I am glad that both you and your wife survived. Wondering -- do you have long Covid as a result?
