Steve has written a great poem about lockdown, which he reads here.
A few months ago when it was ever so hot
I sat in my garden and thought quite a lot
I thought about things that came into my mind
and realised that people were ever so kind
This troublesome time is a worry I know
were stuck in our house with nowhere to go
We dont talk to anyone except on the phone
yet some people are home all on their own
that must be scary to be on your own
no one to talk to not even the phone
some folks have no friends or anyone at all
who cares for them should they suddenly fall
my thoughts went wild as I rocked in my chair
the sun beating down and bleaching my hair
were six months into this stark new way
not going out day after day
Im scared to go out because of the news
it tells us how this virus has spread and they give us their views
weve got to belive what we are told
I hope it just ends before I get old
I smile to myself as I wrote that last line
Im seventy four and still drink the wine
the days seem to drag as I rock in my chair
my hair getting longer but its ever so fair
My mind still wanders as I think about things
whats going to happen what will life bring
everything will change of that Im quite sure
will the boffins ever find a cure
