How much is too much
How much can we sleep
the day the night
it's sad news
takes the life of me
Sunday I normally sleep late
but a rare voice called out at me
wake up it's a holiday
the country can't sleep
6 a.m
Corona makes all weep
why now remember 1918
for that time's calamity
human beings in 100 years
did nothing
Memory is short lived
Come listen to me
enjoy today
for tomorrow we may
may not be
fly about like a honey bee
enjoy honey so sweet
let's call it May day
every body
Come sing with me

I'll sing...
with you, just don't breathe on me. I'm not ready to take my chances with Covid-19 and my death. I'll wait for a while yet.

Hi, Lovedly
I am watching less and less news - too much IS too much. Staying in and safe, and definitely singing more!
Thank you!

you teddy are most welcome to sing
you Teddy are most welcome to sing
we both can to Niagara HAPPINESS bring
as we along the walk
laugh talk and sing
more folks will join in
like the PIED PIPER OF HAMLIN
WE will take all
up to the fall
then they themselves will decide
what to do
sing or cut off our wings
Virus no one can touch as such...
yet there is no vaccine
