Lockdown Nothing To Do But Catch Up and Write About It Slam

With the world in lockdown

What is left to do ?

But log onto soup

And write about it 

It's a sorry state of affairs

In solitary confinement

Such as doing simple math to 
while the time away

Like

Counting how many sheets are on 
a single toilet roll

Or

How long it takes for a kettle to boil

Or

Just how many repeats there are 
these day's on television

It's at times like this i suppose we should be grateful for the internet

Even if it mostly doom and gloom
and tales of woe in our future ahead

With just a smattering of Fake News
for good measure

And 1 or 2 funny videos of cat's and dog's

For the loneliest of them all

With no family or friends

To count upon
