LOVE IN THE TIME OF COVID-19

'YOU CAN'T CATCH COVID-19 FROM TV'

THE COMEDIAN SAID.

, 'SEE, I TOLD YOU', NUDGING ME WITH HIS KNEE

'SO WHAT IS IT GOING TO BE, ARE YOU GOOD OR BAD

?

'COME HERE', I HELD HIM WITH A SIGH.

'WE CONTINUE TO LIVE SO SEPARATELY,

BUT AT MY AGE, I'LL SURELY DIE.

I'LL TELL YOU , LOVE, I FEEL DESPERATELY

FOR A CUP OF COFFEE RIGHT NOW

AND I'LL MAKE YOU A CUP OF TEA,

AND I'LL HOLD YOU CLOSE ANYHOW,

FOR I LOVE YOU, YOU SEE.

TO ALL YOU OLD LOVERS, FRUSTRATED OR FEARFUL, JUST KEEP ON LOVING!

WARM REGARDS,

MANYA
