Anticipation for a Corona Vacation

“The game is afoot” ol’ Sherlock said.

But how could that be?

Ol’ Sherlock’s dead!

But there it was my foot and my leg,

I got my cast off, without having to beg!

The leg is all stitched, I’m out of the cast,

It’s time for vacation, it should be a blast.

But the stores are all shuttered and closed as they said,

Will this be so boring we wish we were dead?

“Not at all!” to the family I said through clenched teeth,

We’ll make up some games and cook up a feast!

Yes, the whole family together, all stuck in the house,

But put on a smile, don’t anyone grouse!

We all will get through this, one way or another.

Don’t ask me how. Go ask your mother!
