new version

Can it really be six months
since I wrote the Rule Of Six
Once again we look forward to 
pick our six to mix

In the pandemic tombola
he pulled out a six
Picked out the winning number
from his box of magic tricks

He gambled on our lives
and rolled a six sided dice
Laying his cards on the table
the six of hearts looks nice

It was lucky for Henry
but not for all of his wives
Ruling only six to mix
will protect all our lives

Keep at least six feet apart
or end up six feet under
A thought out master plan or
another political blunder

New rules coming into place
please socialise in your six
To save our NHS
avoid the temptation to mix

In the pandemic tombola

he pulled out a six

Picked the magic number

from his box of tricks

 

He gambled on lives

rolled a six sided dice

Cards on the table

six of hearts looks nice

 

It was lucky for Henry

but not for his wives

Ruling only six to mix

will protect all our lives

 

Keep six feet apart or

end up six feet under

A master plan or

another political blunder

 

New rules in place

please stick to your six

to help save lives

avoid the temptation to mix
