Naked in Mikey’s Meat Market

Naked in Mikey’s Meat Market

December 7, 2020|Ida's Blog

Last Saturday, I run into Mikey’s Meat Market to get some bacon, went to order, and realized I was naked! No mask! I have never done that before. Sure, I’ve forgotten my mask, remembered halfway to the door, then had to go back to my car. But I’ve never actually walked into a store without one.

The weird thing is, it felt unnatural. I went to order, realized what I’d done, covered my mouth with my hand and said, “Oh my God! I forgot my mask. I’ll be right back.” And I dashed outta there. It’s amazing how we’ve adapted to a new normal.

It’s not always easy, though. Here’s Charlie’s latest.

Where’s My Mask?

I was ‘bout halfway
Across the parking lot
And I bet you’ll never guess
What I forgot:
   Mask, where’s my mask?

Back to the truck
Where did I put it?
How I lose these things
I’ve never understood it
I’m down on the pavement
Searching all around
Is it underneath the seat?
Is it on the ground?
I had it yesterday
Where has it gone?
I can’t go in the store
Unless I got one on
   Mask! Where’s my mask?

Lost again!
It’s just my luck
I try keepin’ one
In the cab of my truck
But it’s not in the spot
I usually put it
Shouldn’t be hard
To find, now, should it?
But I looked in the seats
I looked in the door
I took the glove compartment
And I dumped it on the floor
   Mask! Where’s my mask?

But like huntin’ everywhere
For the right size socket
Or losing my keys
That time in Millinocket
At the end of my rope
I had given up hope
When I found my mask, where?

My back pocket
All scrunched down
Underneath my wallet’s
Where it was found
And no, I’d never
Put it there before
So much trouble,
Just goin’ to the store!
Doesn’t make me look
All that smart
I went ahead and tore|
My truck apart
And it was in my pocket! 

That’s it for now. Stay safe, and catch you on the flip side!
