The covid scale
Almost two years on
It has touched the lives of everyone;
Killed millions,
Taken loved ones,
Left many more seriously ill,
Friends of friends,
Someone's someone.
Major events are abandoned,
Weddings postponed.
Unwanted but necessary vaccinations,
Putting others first,
The inconvenience of masks.
It's been a difficult
time for all
but spare a thought
at this special time of the year
for those poor souls
who have had their
Christmas party cancelled.
The word I couldn’t think of was incorrigible (to be applied to madding mistletoe). In hunting an online thesaurus for incorrigible, I found pertinacious and that went well with prickles, thereby revealing my unholy ignorance. Gosh darn it.
Our local has always maintained outdoor dining and social distancing, and asked for proof of jabs. Guess what: the place is booming. They even took on more staff. Interesting, eh? Give people what they want.
Martyrs, each and every one of them. They should get a man fessed in a red covid suit to ring bells outside the stores collecting money to recoup their losses, and the therapy they’ll need to overcome these hardships. 😉

I must admit the mistletoe thing has me confused. All the pictures I have seen look like holly. The only mistletoe I have seen here is an epiphyte.

🤣🤣 I bought a great thesaurus this summer. I’d be lost, off track, disorientated, adrift, at sea, astray without it!
