MY STORY, Episode 2 - I'm having a very productive day......

I'm having a very productive day.
I clipped my toenails and threw them away.
I'm keeping a log of the chores that I do.
By the end of next week, I'll be up around two.
Oldest Son called from the west coast.
Said I'm on Facebook too much and do too many posts.
Told him his previous statement he just contradicted.
If he sees all my posts, he's also addicted.
Second Son calls to ask if we have any beer.
He'll come down for a pickup because he lives near.
Mom, can you disinfect cans and put outside the door?
I say no problem, Son, I'll do that for sure.
I look out the window, I see him and ask
How can he drink beer when he's wearing a mask!
I'm beginning to think I have serious issues.
I've fallen in love with a new box of tissues.
While toilet paper has been on a roll,
Trying to find it has taken its toll.
Since the state stores in Pennsylvania have closed,
A heinous act that our governor imposed,
And covid-19 has brought on social distance,
My desire for wine needs some stockpile assistance.
So up to the Giant Store I go around noon
To buy lots of my cabernet, brand Smoking Loon.
As I grabbed three bottles and then three more,
The cashier tells me I can only buy four!
As a certified wino, I know my rights!
Four bottles would barely last me two nights.
I bit my tongue before it was too late.
To leave the store wineless would be a terrible fate!
Last night I made breakfast and we had it for dinner.
My omelet muffins were really a winner.
I made a dozen so I could store some away.
My husband ate seven. What more can I say.

That's very poetic but it'd be more pleasing if you separated it into the quatrains that you wrote. abqtommy Apr 2020 #2

(also on governor's orders) - English teachers gotta' do what they gotta' do!

I was gonna' try to write something witty,
but I have a problem, oh, such a pity.
It seems that not too much rhymes with virus,
so, SCREW IT!!!!
