Beneath my Covid mask
My 4-year-old grandson
Can’t tell what’s coming next.
Do a cow, he says
And I slowly work my way
To a bold
Baaaaa!
That’s a sheep!
He protests with glee
And says
Do it again.
I roll my eyes
Pretend to take a deep breath
And let out
A gentle meow.
That’s a cat! He complains
Giggling
And orders me
Do it again.
Under my mask
My lips purse
And I slowly let out a mighty
Mooooo!
He joins in
Mooing
And laughing
And tells me
Do it again.
