Certain Sweets - a Poem for dVerse Quadrille

    Tough Times 

COVID, COVID, stay away 

don't come back another day 

We don't like you there's no way 

you take our fun make us pay 

Mucus, coughing, phlegm persists 

Smell, taste, strength, more, diminished 

Pushups gone, coffee whiffs weak 

chocolate candies' tastes still mine 

My Sweetooth's hardy 

A Notice:  Now that Thanksgiving has past, I am now posting Christmas Tree stuff on my Christmas Tree Farm blog.  See it at

 - After two shots and two boosters, including the newest, in March, 2022, we took a cross Atlantic cruise from Ft. Lauderdale to Southampton, Britain, U.K.  Then we would be shuttled to London.  On the fifth day of our 16-day cruise, Mrs. Jim came down with the COVID-19, four days later I had it also.  We were then quarantined for the rest of the cruise and afterwards taxied to a motel for another five days quarantine.  U.S. requirements for reentry from a foreign country required a full ten-day quarantine at that time.  Our feet never touched soil until we exited the motel on the following Saturday.
