She had finally gone to bed

A long day almost over

Wandering in focused willinilly 

A joyful chore but with setbacks

First the list of necessaries 

Then to find them in this 

Lock downed retail desert 

Darkened stores empty shelves

At last the items all acquired 

Bonbons pastries all the things

She loves to hate but craves

Balloons and ribbons festoon

Her  birthday basket set upon

The breakfast table this COVID dawn

her sleepy eyes will feast and fawn

these unexpected treats anon
