I wrote this about Covid 19 and the lockdown 

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
