Sprinkler

It might have been a blast It could have been such fun But no-ones gonna reminisce for twenty twenty-one No sooner had we got around To last years sausage rolls The government decided it would fill us full of holes First we had to have a jab To save our poor grandmother But then we’re told we had to have Another… then another So this year I won’t raise a glass To twenty twenty-two I’ll sprinkle like a watering can And, don’t laugh… so will you Cos now we have a lot more holes Than back when we were born So make sure if you have a beer You’re standing on your lawn

G'day Terry ... it doesn't pay to make plans with governments enjoying new given powers to control covid. In future will that power be rescinded. Yeah right. I did enjoy this poem Terry - Lindsay

Thanks, Lindsay. Felt a bit ‘weird’ after third jab… not ‘I’ll’ as such, just ‘weird’. Glad you enjoyed. Terry

One thing is for certain, Terry. There are no holes in your theme for writing this one. I expect we might still need more holes, but I'll become a pin cushion if that's what's needed to save lives. Thanks for posting this.

Thankyou Lin. I’ve had all my jabs quite willingly and will no doubt continue to do so. But it is becoming tedious. Terry

This morning's newspaper heralds Glaxo's Sotrovimab as the number One vaccine againt Omicron, but it won't be widely available until May 2022, so it is masks on and Merry Christmas! Aloha!

Yikes, that sounds a bit too ruskie for my liking. Don’t think I’ll have that one putin (boy, I'm such a wag) me. Cheers, Rico. Terry

I thought '21 would be the turning point, how wrong was I. Until all the poorer countries have been jabbed we can expect years of this. I wonder if the grinch will pull the plug on Christmas this year, will he risk his political ass lol. Merry Christmas Terry. Tom

For all his failings, I’m glad we got Boris as PM because if we hadn’t, it would have been as a result of a Labour victory and that would have meant Corbyn… and Corbyn sorting Covid would have meant mass graves in the local park. Frankly I’m sick of hearing about people who have worked together all day, having a party. Although I don’t consider six to be much of a party. As for all the dissent in the Tory party… sorry… that’s all about Brexit and nothing else. As you said, ‘Merry Christmas,’ Tom. Terry
