Garage Sale Drama

Covid has taken a huge bite out of the number of garage sales
I have a Chevy Cruze with remote start
If the battery gets low the car won't start
I came close to being stranded in front of St Mary's Gym
I thought they had a garage sale in the gym
They didn't
I was supposed to help my sister haul away garbage from Mom's home today
A day before Mother's Day
Not happening!
I didn't support her being taken from her home
I'm not going to be part of her loss of her freedom
Freedom to drive her car
Gone!
Freedom to live with her grandchildren
Gone!
Her mind
Going, Going, Gone!
At least I got some good chocolate chip cookies

About this poem:
I was lucky enough to be off work today so I could get a few garage sales in. I asked a woman I bought a joke book about Norwegians if she was, she laughed and said she was Swedish.
