Lockdown Lament Day 11 of Lockdown

For several years now we girls have assembled
to play table tennis with skill that resembled
the moves of young people, so deft and surprising
with shots most spectacular while exercising
to keep ourselves fit and our brains interactive,
our balance maintained and our bodies attractive.

Then along came the virus to spoil all our fun
and keep us apart so there now could be none
of our weekly connection and memory training.
I’m sure that our love for the game is not waning
and long for resumption at some time ahead
when we can emerge and corona is dead.
