The Quark In The Road
Trapped at home: A pandemic tale
today at 11:07 am
The three of us: me and the dog and the spouse,
While coping with being confined to the house,
Caught a glimpse of a flitter,
A wee and grey critter,
What Burns called a ‘”beastie” and we call a MOUSE!

I’m Jerry Partacz, happily married to my wife Julie for over 40 years. I have four children and eleven grandchildren. I’m enjoying retirement after 38 years of teaching. I now have an opportunity to share my thoughts on many things. I’m an incurable optimist. I also love to solve crossword puzzles and to write light verse. I love to read, to garden, to play the piano, to collect stamps and coins, and to watch “Curb Your Enthusiasm”.
