Take That Lock Down Gig (In Case You Missed It)
No ticket stress, no queueing at the gate or arena door
A concert like no other we have ever attended before
The front row of my kitchen, sat in my favourite chair
Glass of wine, singing loud, waving my arms in the air
Take that, reunited, straight from their home into mine
The Greatest Day of lock down, together they did Shine
Vintage Mark, up his ladder, in his garage full of tricks
King Howard wearing a crown, drumming with his sticks
Robbie over in Los Angeles, joking and fooling around
Gary in his studio, well, where else would he be found
Cups of tea all round, from Robbie mugs they drink up
Back For Good, but no lipstick marks on those coffee cups
Singing and playing together, yet so many miles apart
So many happy memories Flood back into my heart
Back to 1993, Pray dance moves and unicorns bring a smile
Never Forget walking on the travelator for yet another mile
Clap in time, to the final song, but this time it's not the end
There is an encore, of course, on which we could depend
Take that Rule The World, like stars they came out tonight
Lighting up the darkness of lock down to cheer and delight
Even during these uncertain times they continue to entertain
Everything changes but their lyrics and melodies will always remain

I really enjoyed the Take That gig too, nice childhood memories just what a certain generation needed.
You've summed it up perfectly in this poem Julie, and it's great that you got that inspiration from watching it ?
