Poem
How many families have sadly lost a loved one, We seem to have become quite numb, To the numbers, as they escalate daily worldwide. How many people have lost their job, For the first time, unbelievable, he or she silently sob. Such troubled waters we have all gone through, Middle class people who swallow their pride and queue For food, their business went bust, too many dying In hospitals with Corona, the world is afraid and crying Masks are not essential said the President do as you wish You will never hear me use the word Corona during my Second term in office. He never said keep your distance Or wash your hands often, or that this virus is do or die! We have all traveled a very rocky road this last year, We lived and still live in despair and absolute fear, But no one to guide the people, to do the right thing, For golf is the President’s thing! However, due to Covid 19 some families have flourished And do things together, they have slowed down, saved Money, and only go out when inevitable to take a trip, To the Supermarket, to the Pharmacy, or the Doctor, Don’t eat out, or stop for a cup of coffee, not even a sip. Many people work from home, we do, so relaxed, a revelation! There is no holiday for us for a while, no annual vacation Right now, but certainly an important staycation! Christmas day will be with our son and his beautiful wife, It has now become a chilled out type of life, We sit in chairs in the garden four metres apart, And enjoy our truly glorious South African weather Carry sanitizers in our pocket and definitely wear a mask. Do you still enjoy this kind of entertainment, people ask, Absolutely, get used to it folks, this is the new normal!
