Terry Flood Poet Rhyme

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

Lindsay Laurie December 23, 2021 at 4:09 PM 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 In future will that power be rescinded.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 Terry Flood December 24, 2021 at 3:09 AM Thanks, Lindsay. Felt a bit ‘weird’ after third jab… not ‘I’ll’ as such, just ‘weird’. Glad you enjoyed. Terry

Lin Lane December 21, 2021 at 1:31 AM 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. Terry Flood December 21, 2021 at 1:53 AM Thankyou Lin. I’ve had all my jabs quite willingly and will no doubt continue to do so. But it is becoming tedious. Terry

Rico Leffanta December 20, 2021 at 10:31 AM 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! Terry Flood December 20, 2021 at 11:35 AM 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

Tom Cunningham December 20, 2021 at 12:11 AM 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 Terry Flood December 20, 2021 at 12:41 AM 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
