I inhabit several neighborhoods — real, virtual, and imaginary, as you can see.
Even though I’m ambiviralent, I hope my new lyrics to “Fascinating Rhythm” help me go viral in the social media neighborhoods.
Vaccinated Women
by Ann Koplow
Vaccinated women, we’re shopping at stores.
Vaccinated women, we’re all a-quiver.
We are celebrating, the neighbors want to know
How we managed rating when they’re chopped liver.
Each morning we get up with the sun
And have no cares getting all our chores done.
Vaccinated women, you see us on the go
Vaccinated women, you might be asking.
How can you be certain which ones of us are
Vaccinated women, since we’re still masking.
Just look closely into our eyes and then you’ll see
Vaccinated women, happy and safe like me!
Vaccinated women, we don’t want to boast
Lord it over others, or make them jealous.
Vaccinated women, what would please us most
Is vaccine distribution to all gals and fellas.
We hope that everyone over the world will join us soon
Vaccinated people, out, safe, and over the moon!

In my imaginary neighborhood, Jacob Collier lives nearby, so here‘s Jacob’s arrangement and performance of the Gershwins’ “Fascinating Rhythm.”
I’m grateful to my neighbors in all my neighborhoods, including YOU!
The Year(s) of Living Non-Judgmentally 
We’re grateful for you too. I am not, however, grateful for that monkey–it’s a little terrifying!
I’m so glad you’re in my blogging neighborhood!
Your neighborhood needs U!
Looks like that monkey may have a frozen shoulder!
We need U, Peter!
I like the lyrics to your song,.George Gershwin is one of my favorite composers.
Me also!
I love the whimsy in your neighborhood, both near and far. love your lyrics, too
love being your neighbor here, beth.
I want the word “ambiviralent” to go viral because I’m sure it describes how many of us feel. Fame has its ups and downs, although I’m glad for you that there are no downs to being vaccinated.
I also find it funny that we both have monkeys in our neighborhood.
I think you and your witty writings deserve to go viral, my friend, and I am always grateful we are virtual neighbors.
I love the snowy landscapes in your neighborhood.
Thank you!
Vaccinated Woman – that’s me!
“Just look closely into our eyes and then you’ll see
Vaccinated women, happy and safe like me!”
I’m so grateful! Thanks for your lovely neighborhood photos ❤
I’m so grateful we are neighbors, here, Jan, and that you are a vaccinated woman too!
❤
Love the photos from around your neighborhood, Ann. Real, virtual, or imaginary, any place you inhabit is more fun, you vaccinated woman, you! 😋
Thanks for making my life more fun and lovely, Lori!
Your neighborhood is always an interesting place, Ann.
Thanks for being such an interesting virtual neighbor, my friend.
You are undoubtedly a good neighbor within each of your neighborhoods. You inspire!
It takes one inspiring person to know another one!
