Self Isolation

The rain brings some relief Of the monotony we have in chief The virus has put us in our place Awaiting its leaving at its pace No trips to football restaurants or the mall We watch tv knit and cook that’s all Hoping that a vaccine will be made So it can release us from this escapade Covid 19 is from bats they say That Chinese eat frequently chewing away So we sit and cringe in the thought Of bat wings munching oh what a retort How will 2020 be remembered we say A year of nothing just decay Remembering what things used to be Going when and where we would like Sharing things together s we might So now our cupboards are all sorted out With gardens tidied and trimmed about Online shopping seems to be the winner And binge watching tv shows over dinner. © Paul Warren Poetry
