We must social distance

they tell us

keep 6 feet away from those

you come in contact with

 

my wife says even that is too close

she would prefer I stay further away

 

in order to protect her from the dreaded Virus

and also to save her the stress

I bring into her life

 

she has a sign in the kitchen

KEEP YOUR DISTANCE!

"A half-mile minimum!"

 

I very seldom see the woman anymore.

we have our phones

we text

 

haven't you seen this before?

married couples texting each other.

 

they are following

the social distancing rules of course

and are so much

happier for it

 

distance makes the heart grow fonder

a rule that has saved many a marriage!
