Tony Hargreaves Poet Rhyme

Covid Rules

The rules then came to church, 
leaving us in the lurch.
No hymns to contribute, 
but comes a substitute
as long sermon in place, 
lecture to fill the space.
No hymns it seems so lame, 
making our worship tame.
Preacher perched on pulpit, 
trying to raise spirit
but with no hymns to sing
'tis a sad offering.
The rules then came to church, 
leaving us in the lurch.

Jan Allison June 27, 2021 at 4:32 PM such challenging times Tony - and such bizarre rules - ten people at a funeral and no singing - why ten lol for us times are going to get more difficult as the border opens tomorrow and we are already are getting cases outside of the people who are isolating.. guess folk had better start praying! hugs jan xx Tony Hargreaves June 29, 2021 at 10:24 AM Hi Jan. Yes, the rules bizarre. I don't know where we are. Now I just muddle through and wonder what next to do. I loved the hymns at church; singing, rejoicing for this wonderful world that we are blessed with: All things bright and beautiful ..... Best wishes.

Tom Tony Hargreaves June 29, 2021 at 10:29 AM Yes, the Covid rules one day will go, but they surely change the way we go. Perhaps a warning that our crowded living and worldwide travel enables disease to spread. Tony.
