Lockdown Blues
Once again we feel blue
Without having a clue
When life will go back to normal
Without getting too formal
The lockdown has begun
There is no place to run
I can only sense misery
That is causing a lot of injury
We need to make the most of it
To ensure we don’t fully quit
Maybe learn a new skill
Rather than just sitting still
Life does not end here
Wriggle to the front and rear
The good times will come
So don’t be so glum
I am here to spread laughter
Join me either before or after
I won’t let lockdown blues win
Let the fight begin!

Aisha,
An excellent poem; an exhortation to spur us forward during these difficult of times. I was particularly drawn to the third stanza which is sound advice for all of us. Television and other forms of light entertainment have occupied us for far too long. We need to turn our attention to acquiring new skills and now is the time.
Thank you for this
Keith
