WASH! SCRUB! SANITIZE!
YOU HEARD ME! WASH! SCRUB! SANITIZE!
Wash! Scrub! Sanitize! just might become the new CRUSH! KILL! DESTROY!
..If you'll forgive a little in-joke for the LOST IN SPACE fans out there!
And, could this be better illustrated by a cat and mouse than FLUFFY AND MERVIN, by our great friend Debbie Anne Perry?
I think not!

The Robinson Family would do exactly that, if they weren't in immediate danger of being CRUSHED, KILLED, and DESTROYED!
Ya know... maybe they lucked-out by never getting back to Earth...
...At least they can go outside!

Actually, they spent most of their time fighting off aliens or robots or alien robots or robot aliens, or trying to keep Dr. Smith’s greed and stupidity from killing them all. They’d probably have gladly traded all that for the somewhat predictable serenity of being housebound during a pandemic. At least we don’t have robots trying to kill us (yet).
Yes, yes, Joe, we quite agree/
For even we secret societies can see/
That washing one's hands is the only way/
To fix this mess and save the day/
(And stay inside! Don't go out!/
If you do you'll just spread the virus about!)/
This has been a missive from the members of/
The Society of the Rhyming Dove!
Enjoyed the Lost in Space joke, loved the Fluffy & Mervin illustration! If only all my problems and antagonists would float away in the bubbles.... of course, then I might have to worry that *I* might float away in someone else's bubbles! It's all a matter of point of view!
Now, back to doing the laundry. WASH! SCRUB! SANITIZE!
Elaine:
If so, one thing’s for sure… You’d never float away in any bubble of mine!
…And I’d be floating a LOT of bubbles!
Deb:
You write: “They’d probably have gladly traded all that for the somewhat predictable serenity of being housebound during a pandemic. At least we don’t have robots trying to kill us (yet).”
Yes, and I suppose, while quarantined, they could get anything they wanted from “The Celestial Department Store” (The 1966 outer-space version of Amazon.com! Talk about a concept WAY ahead of its time!)
Oh, and if we “don’t have robots trying to kill us (yet)”, explain social media! :-) Not all robots have glass heads and mechanical claws, you know!
Doves:
Eenie, meenie, minie, mirus/
I hope we all don’t get the virus!
These words, I commit, to this virtual-papyrus/
Let’s work together to defeat the… (Aw, you know!)
The strains of which we fear detected/
Will tell who among us is infected!
That will separate who to avoid/
From those who just get us annoyed!
Everyone who’s reading this/
Remain in calm but guarded bliss!
And get through this crisis, as best we can/
Show ‘em who’s stronger, virus or man! (…and woman!)
PS: Yes, I know this is no laughing matter! But, smiles get us through the worst of times. Let’s continue to smile – even if it’s behind a mask.
