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.
