These days it’s hard to watch the news,

for every day there’s new taboos

that only bring on lockdown blues

on everyone;

and still we shop in distanced queues;

it’s just no fun.

 

This year the future’s looking grey,

and greetings cards can only say

a happy Covid Christmas Day

to me and you;

if it will all just go away,

we’ll start anew.

 

Yet even when the vaccine’s here,

there’s many will refuse in fear;

would you be first to volunteer

to get the jab?

They’re scared that they might end the year

upon a slab.

 

Although I understand their stance,

I think that I would take my chance.

While you may look at me askance,

in my defence,

with my own special circumstance

it’s common sense.

 

So is it safe, or a mistake,

because sometimes the news is fake,

it is your future that’s at stake

and that’s unknown.

The final choice is yours to make,

and yours alone.
