Self Isolation Poem by Paul Warren

The rain brings some relief
Of the monotony we have in chief
The virus has put us in our place
Awaiting its leaving at its pace

No trips to football restaurants or the mall
We watch tv knit and cook that's all
Hoping that a vaccine will be made
So it can release us from this escapade

Covid 19 is from bats they say
That Chinese eat frequently chewing away
So we sit and cringe in the thought
Of bat wings munching oh what a retort

How will 2020 be remembered we say
A year of nothing just decay
Remembering what things used to be
Going when and where we would like
Sharing things together s we might

So now our cupboards are all sorted out
With gardens tidied and trimmed about
shopping seems to be the winner
And binge watching tv shows over dinner.
