Notes About The Poem

I wrote this about Covid 19 and the lockdown 

Virus

Virus

No dining no cinema no going out
No football or festivals
No getting about

No meeting a colleague no hugging a friend
No pubs no clubs gatherings
When will we see the end?

This virus has us locked inside
Us over seventies
All have to hide

But its not all gloom it wont last forever
Being kept apart
Has brought us all together

We are Zooming and Skyping like never before
The community spirit
Is just like in the war

There have been front room festivals
And internet plays
Happy reminders of better days

So we wont give up we’ll stay in lock down
Until this damn virus
Is no longer around

If we believe in our hearts it wont be long
We will beat this pandemic
And see it gone

So lets drink a toast to the NHS crew
And to postmen and drivers
Who bring deliveries to you

To bus drivers and policemen and firemen too
Who all risk their lives 
For me and for you

So lets all stand firm and never give in
Then the war on this virus
We will surely win

I know we can beat it if we stay strong
And we will see the day 
When forever its gone
