Breaking the Law

Breaking the law

I have been watching programs on the telly
the same ones many times as I tend to forget the ending
that never make sense, and I blame the producers
Who has changed the script during filming?
I see much TV now that I have to sit in it’s so boring
I fall asleep except when there is a western movie
preferable in black& white where they do a lot of shooting
and never re-load the revolver, any blood and gore,
and the best thing is we know the hero is winning.
I have been indoors now for a fortnight but the lockdown
has been extended, it is like a war situation
if I walk out, I will be arrested for breaking the curfew.
Had I been in my house in the interior of Algarve it would
not be a problem walking in the forest, they don’t shoot
people yet, but there is a hefty fine for breaking the edict.
