Three men arrived here yesterday, got off the ferry and went to a shop to purchase alcohol before they went to their hotel. All of them were wearing face masks which alerted the shop keeper, who reported them to the police. They got taken to prison and up in court by video link today … all got hefty fines and suspended prison sentences as they were ‘key workers’ and had been wearing masks.
My country
Covid free
Ferry trip
causes gyp
Men arrive
Then they drive
To the shop
Where they stop
To buy drink
Didn’t think
They’d done bad…
Are they mad!
Their downfall
Alcohol
Contravene
Quarantine
Stupid fools
Broke set rules -
NO stopping
For shopping!
Put in jail
With no bail
Must conform
To OUR norm
Our law spurned
Lessons learned
Cross that line
Get HUGE fine
