The Lockdown Blues

I am in my bed 24/7

Sleeping in well past eleven

My biggest dream of breakfast in bed

Is now getting out of bed

Who would have known

The thing that brings us together is a thing with a crown

I always wonder what life will be after

Hopefully no regrets with the would I rather

Life is changing dramatically

Things are being done automatically

Don’t touch this or that

Clean and sanitise your new ball or bat

Wear your mask everytime you go out

Out of fashion goes the pout

We all wish the good old times would return

But COVID-19 is like why not begin afresh instead of a return?

Lockdown brings families together

Compared to the earlier days where kids were always stuck playing Never have I ever

It has taught us to dream

While searching for a deadly pathogen under a UV beam

It came at a time when people thought more the people the merrier

ow all the people just trying to escape crowding using a suitable carrier

And in the masters chambers they have gathered for their feast

They use their formulas but they just can’t kill the beast

It taught us how to live virtual

Yet connect with all things natural

Just one phone call away

But still friends and work feels so far away

Figuring out how to make next month’s rent

With no way for frustration to vent

Sitting in a 4/4 room

Continously trying to stay happy battling fear and gloom

Watching so many shows online

And hanging clothes on the washing line

Have become new hobbies

This makes us appreciate life

Food on the table

Living life like a fable

Hoping for that one day

Where it is all Roses, sunshine and gay

Till then wash your hands

Sanitise your masks and bands

Keep Smiling and no wailing

Live life and love the feeling
