Who Spoiled Our Christmas
Here's who to blame
The Chinese government began it all
Those wild creatures traded in that wet market
I mean
Secrets were kept too long
It's self-evident
Air travel spreads it abroad
With inadequacy of testing before and after
And
Track and trace always playing catch up
With
Government policy changing
We discover
Hospitality is shutting down
And to our dismay
Entertainment is no longer viable
So where can we go and spend?
Retailers feel under threat
Me too
Teachers are angry
Also
Hospitals can't cope
There's no child care for key workers
Then we hear reports that
Not distancing
Many young people are partying
And they say that
Wearing his mask
Even for Santa
Leads to tiers
This spread of Covid-19
While it's still out of control
We'll have to cope
On our own
Blaming others
Grumbling
Now read from bottom to top.
Once again I point out that the form "reversal poetry" is not recognised by Poetry Soup.
