PANDEMIC
SING-A-LONG
(To the tune of “Matchmaker,
Matchmaker” from Fiddler on the Roof)\
BY VICKI MAZEL
Maskmaker, maskmaker make me a mask.
Covering noses and mouth, is it too much
to ask?
Maskmaker, maskmaker look through
your things,
And get ready for the task.
Maskmaker, maskmaker help us to
comply.
Some of the masks, fog up our eyes.
Maskmaker, maskmaker sometimes we
can’t breathe,
Nary a perfect mask to buy.
For Sadie - make it pretty colors,
For Gertrude keep it snug round the ears.
For me well I wouldn’t holler
If it kept me safe from all fears.
Maskmaker, maskmaker make me a mask.
An N95 I could sip through a flask.
Day after day it’s always a groan,
With a muffled voice on the phone.
O! Covid, give us a break now,
We’re Zooming our way to a ditch.
Places are closing and dozing,
No one’s happy or getting rich.
So..Maskmaker, maskmaker hear our
strong pleas.
We need a little more glamour to see,
Send us a pix of your mask on email,
And we’ll gladly give prizes to thee!
Categories will be: Originality, Humor, Safety
and Overall Visual Effect. If you have an original
mask or have improved an existing one,
you qualify for this competition.
To enter, just take a photo of your favorite
mask, or a selfie with you wearing it, and
email it to Gloria Beck at Glutsky@aol.com or
Vicki Mazel at maz3711@yahoo.com for your

in the arcade will be awarded in different
categories.

CINEMA CLUB PIC FOR FEBRUARY
M o n d a y,
F e b r u a r y
22, 11 am -
Channel 995
“ H o p e
Gap” is about
a marriage
on the rocks
with stunning
scenery and a
fine ensemble
cast. Featuring
A n n e t t e
Bening, Bill
Nighy and the
wonderful Josh O’Connor, this is the tale
of a woman whose life crumbles after her
husband of almost 30 years leaves her for
another woman. Taking place in a beautiful
seaside town, the scenery provides a backdrop
for the dramatic turn the characters
take in dealing with this crisis in their lives.
Central to the couple’s reaction is the
effect it has on their son Jason and how
he becomes central in their contact. This
intensely personal film shows the vulnerability
of the trio, but it’s interesting to see how
they eventually cope. Which family member
turns out to be the strongest? Was their marriage
ever real? Who can make a better life
in the future? Watch this on Amazon Prime
and tune into Channel 995 on February 22
at 11 am and join us for the movie review.
