When she fell in love,
All the world for her was dull,
His path she would gove,
Her heart throbbing like a gull,
Thinking 'bout him was her lull.
I shower me with love
Nearly every given hour
I lower me down this gove
Soon bloom into a rare flower
Be a sower's precious trove
But I'll still want to rise higher
So I start to scour the skies above
And fall in love with a night flyer
Won't cower beneath that cove
Stare down fear to claim my power
I tower high over its cave
Sail past the skies on sheer willpower
It's Covid time, no-one's feeling very fab,
At Covid time, we wear a mask and have the jab
And in our world of Covid, we could spread it to everyone
Don't throw your arms around them at Covid time
But stay at home, even self isolate,
At Covid time - no risks, do not leave it to fate
There's a world outside your bubble
And it's lacking our pubs and beer
Where the only ale that's flowing
Is some homebrew by Ray Mears
And the Covid app that pings
Heralds two weeks now stuck at home
Well tonight thank Gove my pint's head's little foam
And there won't be open pubs in town this Lockdown time
The greatest gift we hope is bottled beer
The Messiah drops by
There is no need to cry
Do they know it's Lockdown time at all?
Cheers to you…
Raise a glass to Dave and Debs,
Cheers to them
Orders by text, or web,
Do they know its lockdown time at all?
Drink the Beer!
Drink the Beer!
Drink the Beer!
Drink the Beer!
Drink the Beer!
Let them know it's Drinking time again
Drink the Beer!
Let them know it's Drinking time again
Drink the Beer!
Let them know it's Drinking time again
Drink the Beer!
Let them know it's Drinking time again
(In memory of Governor William Donald Schaefer)
A Spirit he was, roaming
wild and free
Often a pistol and a live-
wire, he could be
Quick to give to Our tragic
flaws, the third degree
Having built his foundation,
on expressing Honesty
With the intention of being
a "Public Servant, not a gove-
nor", you see
Truly, was William Donald Schae-
fer, a pillar of Our community
On a whirlwind of a ride, had he
taken the State of MD
During his term in office, which
came to end, abruptly
Yet, I can imagine him before
passing, exclaiming:"Don't Cry
For Me, because Heaven's where
I'll be spending My eternity"
Lorenzo Lorraine Langstoth* located the bees passing space
Three-eights of an inch,would gove them grace;
The world widely used this discovery
and copied his patent too easily-
Lorenzo found 'fame' but fortune was not to be.
In 1851 this American clergyman * made the discovery that made honey a viable commercial
food source.
