For the Sake of the Children

We took up the challenge, When the bar was set high, To show the rest of the world, That Kiwis can fly higher, In a world at an all time low As Omicron hits new heights. While others could not count to four, We have been hitting Covid for six, Despite the underarm tactics, Of those who pushed news that was fake. Now it is time to put the children into bat, And we should be unafraid of that, As those giving the Vaccination, Are child friendly, And were the first to take up the challenge. Now thanks to them, And all of us who followed suit, Our children can breath easy, As they wait in line for their turn to bat, With those giving the jab, Having spent enough time in the nets, For their bat always able to find that sweet spot, So, we can take our children to watch the Black Caps, Beat South Africa in a cricket test from the embankment, Instead of on TV in a hospital, If they can lift their head off the pillow.
