“ Searching every which a-way.” (The Coasters)
We seek it here; We seek it there.
We seek it everywhere.*
The sign up place cannot be seen
To sign on line for that elusive covid vaccine.
Friends who are near or far away
Send us updates every day.
Phone lines are jammed, on line does deny.
No matter what, we cannot find out why.
We are not even asking for a shot.
Just to sign up which we cannot.
News is good. More vaccine on the way.
All we ask is to sign up today.
Of course, I know we should not whine
There are folk with many more troubles than mine.
Still it would be nice – Heavenly bliss –
To receive a note stating, “You are on our list.”
Until that time, optimistic we shall stay,
For there is bound to come a special day
When a message arrives, “We’ve found a slot
Where you can sign up for that elusive Covid shot!”
“Searching every which a-way.
Gonna find it Yeah. Yeah.”

Thank you Brenda. You are always so supportive. Remember, you are quite the talented writer.
Bob, thank you for that information. What a great way to help people who help us. Thank you for your contributions.
We are indeed lucky to have such good folk during this time.
With love and gratitude,

Elissalde strikes again! Made me smile amid all “this”! But now I’m so embarrassed too. I thought you were paraphrasing Dr. Seus!
One way to get the vaccine is to volunteer for Galveston County Health District mass vaccination hubs. All volunteers get the vaccine. I am a volunteer although I already got the vaccine. The next hub being set up is in League City and will begin operations this Friday.
