He wants to start Victory’s band,
Stops on seeing discouraging hand:
The band’s for a purpose, not fun;
At them is still pointed a gun…
Somebody is smoking his brand;
To ask for the half-smoked not grand.
He is their Great Chief’s second son,
Already out and above Sun…
The gun’s bullets sing “Wait! Wait! Wait!”
For a long bolted market gate
Against a killer Pandemic
Still doubted by some Academic…
Not passing today: Decision
Or a riot with precision...
And it’s, yes, no mere suspicion
Co-Vid will like an incision.’’
Well, they’ll omicron you when you’re trying to be so good
They’ll omicron you just a-like they said they would
They’ll omicron you when you’re tryin’ to go home
Then they’ll omicron you when you’re there all alone
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get omicroned.
You're Pandemic, You're Pandemic.
Your Infection grows an expiration.
You have come from Wuhan.
And have destroyed All Jahan.
O Man! Your seven deadly Sins.
Ah! Allah has given you a comeuppance.
Because of your Avarice.
You became a bad choice.
Oh man! your lust
Giving you a dust!
O Man! You showed your ignorance.
And Almighty Allah showed His violence!
This Corona has only one solution.
That's do pray with a passion.
Needle pricks my right
arm. Sweat drips down the young nurse's
nose. Unsafe world now!
I'm Scott the Clot and I am mighty mean.
I'm spreading the virus called covid19.
I'm trying to get rid of all my astrazeneca vaccine.
A blood-clotting vaccine,
A potential killing machine.
I love that word, vaccine.
One jab only costs a dime,
And I'll open up the borders in a short time.
Many of we oldsters have already received the covid19 vaccination.
Soon all who want it will receive the shot in states across the nation.
Yet, TV news keeps needlin' us showin' 12 inch needles pokin' the shoulder joint!
You would think by now that we should've all received the "point"!
Vaccinate me now for fear of a third wave
Vaccinate me now because I’m not brave
Vaccinate me now before politics and rage
Vaccinate me now there is a war to wage
Vaccinate me now so I can smile and be free
Vaccinate me now I need retail therapy
Vaccinate me now so that I can be safe
Vaccinate me now before the lovely waif
Vaccinate me now my latte and scone await
Vaccinate me now I’ll this leap of faith
Vaccinate me now let’s go back normal
But the trouble with normal...

Eric (and sometimes not)
Days have flown,
Months are gone..
Theres never been a day which was lacking your thought;
I even see your smile dropping down to a frown..
I have your clone, in front of me,
Little Ana, wanna make me believe you are with ME..
Her hands, her chin, are just like her Mom that I See,
Your shadow is here, so it's easy for me;
But we're always there for
You to Glee..
Just remember a thing,
The rays of the Sun pass through you,
and reaches Me,
I let it fall on and I let it Be..
Coz somewhere it touched you before Me..
Coz somewhere it touched you
before Me..

The funeral procession
Moved in silence
Through the empty lane;
Otherwise,
A busier street of,
Puddles during rain,
And those buzzing horns off,
On all by-lanes,
Gave no goosebumps,
As always.
The sumptuous ride,
of the fabulous virus,
Created fear amongst the masses.
The funeral of my friend too
Laid off in silence.
Only a handful loved ones
Could attend her last rites.
I remembered,
Those golden school days,
A few decades back,
Then we shared our tiffin
And gossips together.
Knows not when we lost
The contacts of each other.
Meanwhile, life got busier
With the challenges as ever.
Today,
Her freshness smiles in a frame
Where the breeze couldn’t caress
Her pepper white hairs even in vain.
When I looked back, I realized;
The worth of one’s presence in our precious lives!

May her soul rest in peace.
45 has 19,
where's the love and well wish?
Breeding hate to the Democratic Party
is like COVID19 to a petri dish.
50 years since the Civil Rights act of '57, '60 and '64.
see now what Democratic Party cities run have become.
How's your 20/20, in 2020?
Are you seeing more clearly,
now that the programming is wearing thin?

Well hello people.Listen everybody.
I got tested for Covid antibodies
A simple test.My blood I did give.
When it came back,Hooray,I was positive!
I'm positive positive .POSITIVE POSITIVE POSITIVE!
I am now immune.The antibodies protect me.
I don't have to worry cause the virus can't infect me.
I will give my blood for plasma therapy.
People who are sick will benefit from me.
I'm positive positive POSITIVE POSITIVE POSITIVE!
So,run do not walk.Don't wait another hour.
Get tested today,because knowledge is POWER
POSITIVE POWER!
Only a couple of months locked in
That feels like an eternal sin
Sat alone staring at four walls
I need some company just to talk
Remember the the things we took for granted
Like day trips to hemel Hempstead
Meeting friends for a quick tea
And an evening in the bar with a double whisky
Mothers meeting at school gates
Sharing gossip of late
Visiting mother for a cwtch and chat
Saturday footy with the chaps
Cinema dates with loved ones
And simply just having fun
Can't go shopping for shoes and clothes
Ooo I could murder a mcflurry orio
Most of all is our life and health
A cough or touch could send you to hell
Never worried about keeping a certain lenth
Not knowing if this is gonna end
Society will never be the same
No need to point and blame
Follow the rules thats layered out
And hopefully we'll ride this out
Not knowing what the future has in store
We cannot take things for granted anymore
She just has a little cough cousin says.
I think Covid19 will make you dead.
Come over she offers
I think of the coffers.
Elect to stay sheltered in place, instead.
Some folks resist wearing a mask heedless of the possibility of zymosis!
I religiously wear a mask to conceal my very conspicuous proboscis!
