An unexpected car trip

 

 

Departed Friday Sept. 18, 2020/ returned Friday Sept. 25, 2020

An unexpected car trip

With a lady who transports pets

A three thousand-mile round trip

And I never had any regrets

 

From Houston to upstate New York

Tiffany drove all the way

Bringing her dog Chappie along

With the transport dog it would play

 

That barbecue in Memphis

We stopped for local cuisine

Their sauce was very tasty

And the beef was thin and lean

 

It then became a vacation

With sightseeing on our return

Visiting the Ark Encounter

So much we got to learn

 

God told Noah to build the Ark

He needed to flood the earth

The people had become too evil

It was time for a new re-birth

 

And then it was off to Hot Springs

The Arlington we stayed at was old

Perhaps it might have been haunted

Although we had not been told

 

Some shopping and a Duck Tour

We did earlier in the day

And the thermal pools we swam in

Were a perfect place to stay

 

An unexpected car trip

A decision not hard to make

And many other car trips

With Tiffany I hope to take

I met Tiffany Cady, who transports pets for a living, on the Next-door app the end of August 2020

when she was looking for a Mah Jongg player. Although we hardly knew each other, before taking

this trip on September 18, 2020, we got along splendidly for the entire week.

 

MASK-UP

 

I admired her mask

Though it’s not Halloween

When now going shopping

That’s how we are seen

 

Due to a pandemic

Masks are required

Though who would think

They would be admired

 

All different fabrics

Including sports teams

Disposable masks

Are always clean

 

Don’t spread your germs

Keep wearing a mask

A slight inconvenience

But not a hard task

If I was a nurse

In appreciation of all the nurses who've treated me when I've been hospitalized. 

If I was a nurse 

Treating those who are ill 

I’d ease their pain 

And give more than a pill 

If I was a nurse 

I'd be very proud 

To care for the sick 

That’s what I vowed 

If I was a nurse 

I wouldn't be bored 

Too many patients 

Who can't be ignored 

 

If I was a nurse 

I'd be very gentle 

Having compassion 

And not be judgmental 

If I was a nurse 

I wouldn't mind 

When patients got well 

And left me behind

Seat belts save lives and mask up

Buckle up for safety

My generation heard

And honestly

I believed every word

Those opposing seat belts

Many would say

Too uncomfortable

Risking lives everyday

 

Seat belts with a harness

To keep you in place

So, into the windshield

Does not go your face

 

Installed in cars

Those airbags came

Keeping you safer

That was their aim

 

And child safety seats

A wonderful invention

To keep them safe

Should be no question

Due to Covid -19

We should all wear a mask

But some will get irate

Complying with this task 

A mask restricts breathing

In a restaurant or a store

Yet, if it's not worn

You can't go there anymore

 

Ladies, don’t make a fuss

On the news you’ll be seen

Calling you a ‘Karen”

A lady who is mean

I love reality TV

Certain shows

I love on TV

To live their lives

Vicariously

A spousal visa

For just 90 days

They need to marry

Or have to part ways

From other countries

For a better life

In the USA

A husband or wife

On the Internet

It’s how they met

A green card

They hope to get

Six hundred pounds

And maybe more

Almost too big

To fit through a door

So much food

You see them eat

It’s hard for them

To stand on their feet

A surgeon in Houston

Can operate

But first they need

To lose some weight

A high protein diet

No carbs or a sweet

That 50-pound loss

Will be hard to meet

Quintuplets, Sextuplets

As cute as can be

Another show

I’ll watch on TV

Brothers and sisters

Demanding attention

Exhausted parents

Need I mention

Cribs and diapers

Formula and clothes

All these babies

Is not what they chose

Fertility drugs

A decision to take

Too many babies

They would make

The bachelor

And the bachelorette

Some pick the right one

But most they regret

Lots of kissing

On these shows

A fantasy suite

Where anything goes

Thanks for sharing

Your life with me

Do you make lots of money

On reality TV

Empty nesters & retirees

My neighborhood is pretty
The streets are clean
With beautiful flowers
And grass that's green

Throughout the day
It's usually quiet
People will walk
But no one will riot

You always feel safe
Police are here
Take a walk at night
Nothing to fear

Except for the dog park
No people to meet
To stand and talk with
On any street

I'll stay in my yard
And swim in my pool
On very hot days
I'll always be cool

With endless days
The same routine
My morning coffee
Without caffeine

For empty nesters
And retirees
We live alone
Among the trees

How to meet your mate

A high school sweetheart

Or on a blind date

Those were two ways

You found your mate

A college major

For some pre-wed

After college

To a wedding it led

The Dating Game

Once a popular show

Ask a few questions

On a date they would go

Then more shows

Came onto the scene

Those bachelor shows

With some who are mean

We hope they are able

To find true love

Among many people

They will dispose of

With Internet sites

You can meet your mate

Some will not live

In your home state

Months even years
An online romance
To a foreign place
They will take a chance

A ninety-day visa
For them to decide
If they want this person
For a groom or a bride

Beware of the catfish

With many out there

Professing their love

While money they snare
