my deepest regrets, rsvp

i'm sorry, but i can't attend.

you know.

the virus and all.

maybe in the fall,

or next spring?

pool party, oh my.

again, i'm sorry but i have

to refuse

the invitation, although you

know me,

how i'd love to attend.

the wedding. gosh sakes.

no.

but tell me

where you're listed and i'll

be sure

to send

whatever it is you might

be needing.

birth of your child.

we shouldn't take the chance,

and you know

how i feel about babies.

i won't be able

to sleep

without holding it in my

arms.

perhaps when it's more grown,

say out of the diaper phase

and into college.

but you know what,

once we have a vaccine

i'll be the first to arrive

and the last to leave from all your

frequent gatherings.

honest to goodness,

i do miss our get togethers.

zoom perhaps?
