Isolation humour, by J.C. Kavanagh




Short-listed for Best Young Adult Book 2018,
The Word Guild


As a writer, I'm used to staying home for long periods of time in my own creative world, in the playground-of-my-mind as I like to call it. But a forced stay-at-home is not so easy. I miss my family and friends.

This pandemic has altered routine. Nothing is 'normal' anymore. Headlines about COVID-19 are found on every social media platform. Deaths/ confirmed cases / pending cases - these statistics are broadcast from news outlets around the world, pretty much on an hourly basis. I want to close my eyes and cover my ears to temporarily halt the onslaught.

So I've come up with a distraction of sorts. 

I search for light-hearted content on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, even CNN. There are hundreds of light-hearted pieces out there. So, to brighten your day and shift from the sad realities choking our collective mood, I'm sharing a few pieces I've found and/or copied and/or revised.






Thirty days hath September,
April, June, and November,
all the rest have thirty-one
except March and April which have 8,000













Only in Canada, eh? 
Remember, social distancing equals two hockey sticks.














And while we're on the topic of hairs....



Stay safe everyone.

  2. Haha! Yes, I agree J.Q. Rose - Tiger King is 'escape viewing' and quite the lurid story!
