Thank You Covid

Me behind the wheel But something amiss Not the usual 'In control' feel Visibility almost zero Foggy windscreen Nothing can be seen I turn the ignition off Can’t switch off Nervousness, anxiety What to do? Getting fidgety Let me adjust The rear mirror Wooh….ah…. Everything so clear So close The fun, the laughter And all those Memories nostalgic Life on A leisurely Rewind mode Flooding me with images Saying, 'Take your pick' I happily Almost greedily Embrace the past Lost in those good old days A voice says 'Hurry! Press the accelerator Otherwise you’ll reach last' Visibility has increased But I don’t pay heed Simply smile Gently turn the key Engine purrs to life Lovely sound Never noticed it For all this and more It’s 'Thank You COVID'
