Pandemic Reality By Mary L Schmidt, 20 November 2020

My husband better, he was a false negative,

Yet my rapid test was a huge positive;

Received IV fluids and medicine, left me contemplative,

The doctor said to go home, I had no alternative.

Couldn’t taste food, but found peppered scrambled eggs worked,

My husband scrambled eggs with pepper every day, feeling overworked;

I could feed myself and drink; I could do it I chirped,

With my husband next to me, he simply lurked.
