The Lockdown blues.....

Well,the Holidays-have-all been well-scuppered
we're stuck on 'staycation' a spell
the cruise 'round the med has been cancelled
and the weekend in Wuhan as well.....

A fortnight in Florence is buggered
America-too will be missed
and-to contemplate Spain at the moment
you'd-have to be carefree or p****d......

Anyway,flying's not possible at present
so there's nowhere abroad we can go
and driving much further than Tesco
risks-a-possible stint on death-row.....

So I'm stuck in the House like all others
week six,and I've let meself go
I look like a Hippy from Woodstock
I've,let-me-hair and me whiskers just grow.....

I've been practising keeping me distance
and-when the-governor's tucked-up in our bed
I put some more air in me Lilo
and-kip-down for the night in the Shed.....

But,if the strain of the lockdown gets tiring
I'll,resign-my-'position' as Chef
and to alleviate flack in the future
I'll pretend that I've gone bloody deaf.....

Yes....it's been quite a strain on relations
our idyll has turned into strife
but,I've found-a-good-book on that Kindle
called "How to dispose of your Wife"......

When I was at junior School,crossing the road,where we lived at least,was fairly simple and fairly safe as you could here a Car or Bus or Lorry coming along the road long before it ever got to you. That's how it has become now to some extent with the road where we are suddenly going from having thousands of vehicles pass by daily to falling eerily quiet such that,even though Cars are more silent than they used to be,you can now hear them approaching way before you see them. In this new found silence we can hear Bird-Song that used to be drowned out by the traffic noise,hear the Frogs in the Pond croak and splash,hear children playing in a garden several Houses away,hear a Lawn-Mower somewhere and Alright Now by Free playing on someone's Radio who knows where. Our local Town is empty of people,almost all shops and businesses are shut and every day seems like a Sunday. Most of us now have more time on our hands than ever before and most people aren't making any money at t...

Coronavirus...... Apparently some 'experts' initially predicted a million deaths in the UK but that figure has now been lowered with an expert Professor  updating that to some 20,000 and more recently to 5,700.Also he says that two thirds of those who die in the next few months,supposedly of Coronavirus,would have died anyway of something else. Further,it appears that if someone dies under the care of Medical professionals and if said person has Coronavirus at time of Death,then that is being listed as  the cause of death when it may or may not be the case. So time will tell eventually whether the restrictions imposed on people's lives and the economic impact that will go on far longer have been absolutely necessary or whether we've all been living through a real life episode of Spooks......
