There once was ....
Lament from the sick room
I wanted to write from my bed
As purple clouds danced in my head
But it was a strain
With covid on my brain
So I wrote a limerick instead!
!
Thank you to those who inspired this trend and gave this sicky a fun diversion!
Well, now I have to come up with fifty more words so Vocal will let me publish this. So, let me encourage everyone to be mindful that covid is still a thing. My daughter is immunocompromised so we try to be particularly careful, but covid still found our household. Doctor noted that cases are on the rise, especially among kids. :-( It's still OK to wear a mask if you want. It's still OK to avoid large indoor gatherings if you don't feel safe. It's still OK to get vaccinated. Getting sick -- not so OK.

get better soon!
This limerick is a fun and creative way to remind readers about the ongoing threat of COVID-19 and the importance of staying safe.
Glad you hopped on the limerick train but I’m sorry to hear you are sick. It’s definitely not over and still scary.
So glad the limerick was a fun distraction!! Sorry you've been sick. I hope it passes quickly and your daughter is spared from it!! Yes, to staying home when sick, and wearing a mask just because. Take care!
