Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Happy Birthday Me

Today's my birthday, I am five.

Last year my party was on Zoom.

But this year Mom says we'll be live,

A few of us in the same room.

Of course the masks we all will wear.

Mom made me one with fives on it.

Even Gram and Gramps will be there,

I hope with a new baseball mitt.

This Covid thing has hurt a lot.

I watch T.V. with Mom and Dad.

I really hope my fam'ly's not

Hurt by Covid and made so sad.

Maybe bad stuff, grown ups will fix

By this time next year when I'm six.
