Free As a Bird

Listen to poem:

I fed the magpie scraps of bread stay home sentinel now perched, outside my house essential travel only 'tis Spring, nice to get out and about those swoops and jabs can really hurt no friends in house nice to feel the warm sun on skin wear a spiky hat only exercise for one hour a day my dog cringes inside, bird-shy only buy the basics love the rain, umbrella helps jab-shy, got the jab anyway the dish ran away with the spoon

what a crazy world we have lived in - I've been double jabbed and our border is open and guess what we have covid in the community, in schools but i guess life had to get back to near normal as possible, hugs Jan xx
