So Covid finally got me
my test registered a fine line
I have a bit of a headache 
but in general, I feel fine

Confined to the house for a while
wondering how to spend my time 
I guess I should write some poems 
short verses with rhythm and rhyme 

What should I choose to write about 
always the most difficult part
It’s hard to find a new subject 
and I wonder where I should start 

I guess the topic of the day 
is the Coronavirus news 
I’m not sure folk will want to read
all about my pandemic blues 

Now I’m searching for ideas 
looking for some inspiration 
A cause to put pen to paper 
and spark my imagination 

I should sort all my paperwork
and clean my house bottom to top
Clear all my clobber and clutter
gift it to the charity shop 

I’m thinking that all the above 
can wait for at least one more day 
My lockdown time will be best spent 
waiting for words to drift my way
