Take that Omicron away

 Standing on the edge of the new year and fighting the sense of vertigo, I wonder about my sanity.

Am I the only person, for instance, who peruses the headlines about Omicron and hears Paul Simon singing in their head?

"Omicro-o-n/ Makes me mask like a mummer/ Brings lock-down into a third summer/ Make me think all the world is falling ill/ Oh yeah/ I'll get a Pfi-i-izer booster...." 

My daughters think I'm deranged.

See you next year.

"Mama, please take that Omicron away..." Not deranged at all! Thanks for the smile and the music memory.
