Floundering

Getting to return to work, Bigoted work place, Instead of being filled with glee, Worries concerns creeping back, Will she loose the help to get a needed furnace, She doesn’t even know if she can do the job, Breathing still weak, Week after Covid for third time, Waterloo Catholic hospital is still making ger get

Stunned

I know there’s nothing wrong in my humor, When I look at people’s pages that friend me I go that’s not funny! You might look cool or be on my birthday sign that’s not a selling point, I want to see how people think, I want to see what they think is funny, I want

Two Octobers

My dear friend, Short time, Feels in my heart I have known her lifetimes, Two Octobers ago Penny was predicted dead by October, How dare the Fuckers, Penny worked over time for fifteen years, Had Covid twice, Worked ER Catholic hospital in Waterloo Iowa, Worked last five years on a cane, Staff knee replacements were

We have become
