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.

Hobbo: And?
Dauphy: Well that Trump’s a greedy so and so!
Hobbo: What makes you say that?
Dauphy: Boats! What’s he want nearly twelve thousand boats for?
Hobbo: I think you’ll find that’s votes Dauphy, not boats.
Dauphy: Well who’s this Georgia woman anyway?
Hobbo: Here Dauphy, borrow these…
Hobbo leans down and passes Dauphy his old hearing aids. Dauphy puts them in.
Dauphy: Thanks. I can see much better now!
