End game?
Posted on 7th Mar 2022
End game? Restrictions are lifted, we can all breathe a sigh of relief, we've been gifted a chance to eat pie in the pub, with no mask, meet our mates, have a chat. not a great deal to ask but I only hope that we are not premature when we think we are free from this virus; no cure has been found, you'll agree that we have to take care, look out for each other, been a horrible scare, we don't want another.

Vax fact
Posted on 19th Jan 2022
Vax fact Your reasons, excuses To dodge the vaccine Are so bloody selfish; Take one for the team! Whatever you think About personal rights Our world deserves more Than a few blatherskites. Blatherskite: A person who talks at great length without making sense.

Getting through
Posted on 1st Nov 2021
Getting through Bumbling politicians, specious statisticians, Trying to make predictions and imposing their restrictions. In and out of lock-down, a manic Hokey-Cokey, A deadly It's-a-Knockout, will end up with us choking. Each new wave increases, the death toll marches higher, Keen, the race for vaccine, now spleen, virus deniers. Health care staff are swamped, bosses deaf, not hearing, PPE, not free you see, a chance for profiteering. Families rent asunder, loved ones isolated, Unnecessary blunders leave us all frustrated. In all this sadness, madness, this muchness of a muchness, Humanity, kindness will prevail, our basic human goodness.

A government announcement

A government announcement
This virus has long overrun,
So, we are limiting weddings to one,
It may prove an unpopular course,
But will also cut down on divorce.

Bloody Covid!
Posted on 20th May 2021
Bloody Covid!
Planned April twenty twenty-one
Australia to see my son.
Fortieth birthday, surprise treat,
Not aware, so act discreet.
Two years in, Covid's not done,
Postpone to Christmas twenty-one.
Aussies keep their borders shut,
Situation, now clear cut.
Staying closed till twenty-two
Christmas next will have to do!
A small, small world, we used to say,
But suddenly, he's far away.
I'll have to wait for that big hug,
A victim of that wretched bug.
At least we're here, so can't complain
A lot won't see loved ones again.
Those who come through live and kicking
Be thankful that your clock's still ticking.
Next time you, your loved ones see
Give them an extra hug, from me.
