Shirley Hawkins Poet Rhyme

Gone Viral

"Mummy, Has the virus gone away?
I would love to go outside to play"
I'm sick of playing inside.
Even my pet hamster died.
The cat is looking sad and forlorn,
I think he's wondering why he was born.
He wants to go and chase the birds.
Outside is where this cat preferred,
How can he catch a juicy mouse,
Stuck in this depressing house.
Look at the canary on its swing,
He's too bored to chirp or sing,
"Mummy, when will this virus go away
So we can all go outside to play"

I cant imagine what its like for folk cooped up inside their homes during the pandemic time, we have been so lucky on our little Island.

Perhaps some good my come out of this.... Too much heartache for so many people world wide.
