She Looked Like

She Looked Like… A Christmas tree Decorated all over With appendages! A scarf round her neck To keep out the chills A mask on her face To keep the virus Out of her place Her internal workings Needing protection And glasses… So she could see her way To those essential shops Where a smile might greet her And take away… The weight of her meagre shop Later and returned home Her hat removed The dangly earrings Came into view Nodding a cheery hello This noticed by herself alone She lived in isolation And far from her old home Where she had raised her family She would see them again soon
