2020 Has Been a Strange Year

Twenty twenty a very strange year From March onward most living in fear You will all know what I'm talking about COVID 19 I hear you all shout It all started in the far East Gaining momentum like a ravaging beast Isolated pockets and countries locking down As corona virus swept from town to town The virus spread at an alarming rate People isolating hoping that they're not too late No matter what colour,  race or creed This virus was viral global indeed Countries addressed the situation Whilst people At home needed an explanation You need to stay 2 meters apart Until more is known this is a start Keyworkers and NHS staff worked on through To ensure we were safe including YOU Some even thought it wouldn't be me I'm going to relax down by the sea 5 months in lockdown finally fatalities fell The powers that be decided oh what the hell Restrictions were lifted new rules in place Social distancing and cover your face Just over a month the virus was strong again Taking the vulnerable feeling no pain Lockdown 2 was ordered once more Totally different as scientist knew the R rating score So twenty twenty was a strange year It even managed to bring community cheer Yes that's right not all doom and gloom Good people stepped up into the room Kindness, compassion and a helping hand Makes me proud to live on this land I hope your Christmas is of festive cheer But remember social distancing is still here Social bubbles and 3 households allowed Don't be caught out in a big crowd Enjoy this time Of giving and cheer Raise a glass to 2021 being a better year
