Escape
She died in a
Care home before the
Pandemic, from
Complications after a broken hip.
She helped see off Hitler but
If granny had lived
Would she have
Seen off the virus?
During the War she worked in munitions
Her factory got bombed, she
Made ammunition for the boys at the
Front.
In the care home both her
War-time comrades
Choked to death for want of testing and PPE.
She would have been up in arms watching
Brave chums denied oxygen
She'd have said:
A bullet would be a mercy.
Just like May 1940 when the roof fell in,
Granny had a narrow escape

Wonderful poem.
Tragic how that brave generation has been so let down.
