COVID
As if it had gone away
I knew this was never to be
I have a gut feeling that guides me well
it has served me well for many years, without faltering
My guiding light, above and beyond
My gut was right, here comes Covid knocking on the door
This time a bigger, more powerful, deadly demon
Is survival a reality?
Something we can hope for?
Only time will tell, so hold on tight...
I knew this was never to be

Is survival a reality?
Something we can hope for?
Only time will tell, so hold on tight...

Lockdown
Lockdown, hello my dear friend
What shall we do today, tomorrow, the next day?
I know you are following me
I've known for quite some time
Everywhere I look, you are there
There's no escaping you
Up, down, in, out, you're everywhere
Oh how I long for the day that I am missing you
Until then...you decide...

A Multitude Of Curses
In the last few years
Of withering tears
We experienced Brexit
And the fragmentation, that came with it
Then the Pandemic, full forsworn
As we all became forcibly withdrawn
Then the war in the Ukraine
With the fear of nuclear intervention again
And the obvious worries, and realistic fears
As the worst of climate change nears
Along with the subsequent massive price rises
That has left black holes, and unwanted surprises
In now empty purses
And a multitude of curses

Lady Macdeath
Kiss of death
Since Macbeth
Ten days imprisoned
Within my ivory tower
Like a wilting flower
Other than a four hour
Sojourn
No conquests, at the Conquest
No swords, at my behest
Blood was spilt
Drawn through the eye of a needle
No daggers drawn
Or Mick Jagger yawn
No nice Chianti
Dripping upon my liver
Silenced lambs
That would make me quiver
I have returned to my retreat
My castle in the sky
Further recluse'd
And people shy
My belly empty
And my throat is dry
This virus
Is...

Feeling Covid Mouldy
My throat
Feels like
Ive been eating chainsaws
For breakfast
My nose
Could flood
The Thames Barrier
And my legs
Are made out of Jelly Babies
My shivers
Send me all in a quiver
Running hot, and cold
Like faulty central heating
Coughing
Sneezing
Most displeasing
And quite diseasing
I'm as contagious
As Camembert
(Brie, is not quite me)
But mostly
I'm like a mouldy blue cheese......
