Not a Wash-Out!

Nightmares dog our social plans
In COVID times – lost and loose strands
Social happenings curtailed
'Mice and men'* once more disrailed...

Although we like to plan ahead
Spontaneity's not dead;
A girlfriend cannot make her date
An empty weekend looms – not great ...

Weighed down with shopping, all alone
A kind soul offers car lift home.
A bonus in these troubled times
Warm inspiration for my rhymes!

A Facebook invite comes my way
Concert and eats on Saturday?
Out of the blue – so I accept!
Long live friends – and Internet!
