CELIA'S POEMS

                          No 2   March 19

            Just something to brighten your day

            They always say “how time flies by”,

            This I’ve begun to doubt,

            I’ve just been stuck in here 3 days

            And I need to get out.

            I suppose I’m very lucky,

            That I’m not on my own,

            Geoff’s always there for company,

            And we ring our loved ones on the phone.

            I dare not put the oven on,

            In case I start to bake,

            There’s definitely one thing I don’t need,

            That’s great big lumps of cake.

            Writing poems a better option,

            There’s no calories in that

            But we’ve got cupboards full of food,

            I suppose I’ll still get fat.

            Not long ago our diaries,

            Were full of things we’d planned,

            Now the pages are all empty,

            ‘cause everything’s been banned.

            The events have all moved on a year,

            There’s no option, I can see,

            But please don’t make it longer,

            You know I’m 83.
