Stay Away, Grim Reaper

Well, that's an enlightened view 

of the Grim Reaper, isn't it? 

But in truth, we are very afraid of him. 

Because he's coming for all of us, 

even though we don't want to think about it.

The Grim Reaper is often, 

for good reason, 

associated with War.

We try to deny our deep fears 

by making jokes and poking fun 

at the Grim Reaper.

But we've seen altogether too much 

of him in the last couple of years.

So let's all cheat 

the Grim Reaper 

a little longer!

Why Introverts Thrive in Lockdown

We introverts don't really mind 

not being able to socialize with many people. 

In fact, that's our preferred mode of existence! 

We are not shy and we do like people, 

but we definitely need to be 

solitary creatures in order 

to recharge our batteries.

If we don't get as much "alone time" as we need,

our energy gets run into the ground.

So introverts are not party-hearty types. 

In fact, parties wear us out 

and can be an ordeal.

You can spot the introvert at a party

by seeing who's hanging around the margins,

letting others be the centre of attention!

That's why having Covid-19 restrict our plans

is not all that much of a hardship for us.

We prefer to stay home anyway!

Extroverts don't understand us.

They try to make us be like them.

Extroverts need to socialize a lot

because that's precisely how 

they recharge their batteries.

But not us! We're the opposite.

Introverts lead inward-focused lives 

and that's just fine by us!

This Month Marks a Year of Lockdown

And what a loooooooong year it's been!

As long as that mask meets covid regulations I'd say it's valid

And are you as tired of 

covidiots and deniers as I am?

Well, at least there's still 

the joy of cats!

But this next cat is NOT

Her Royal Highness!

I swear!
