Lockdown 2020

London's calling and it's appalling, it's a time for hide and seek
Out in the bogus sunshine an invisible foe has havoc to wreak
Cascading over the crumbling dams, the torrent of coronavirus
Kept in lockdown we're trapped in webs and waves of wireless
Day and night we hope to see or hear that the tide is set to turn
Only the tolls keep rising from the lessons that we didn't learn
We all saw it coming, those with any faith and the non-believer
Now we're under siege, fighting brimstone fires to fight a fever
20/20 hindsight perhaps, but we were caught in a slipshod nap
Of an evening now though, the beleaguered, will rouse to clap
24/7 we're all lying low, for it's the devil's year with an extra six
Our unseen enemy meanwhile teases, touches and fatally picks
