CELIA'S POEMS

No 214       October 17

This virus is horrendous,

It just goes on and on,

But we’ve beaten it a little bit,

Keeping in touch with everyone.

It really makes me happy,

When you all keep in touch,

It’s gone on such a long time,

We miss the company so much.

I’m really very placid,

But Covid’s getting to me bit by bit,

So sometimes to myself,

I say “ Damn, Blast & Bugger It”.

I shouldn’t really be like that,

People are suffering everywhere,

But then of course we’ll never know,

If like me it makes them swear.

We just sit back and take it,

Accept what we are told,

I know at some point it will go,

But I’m rapidly getting old.

No that’s not right, I am old,

But I’m still young at heart,

When all the things we’ve missed come back,

I’ll be there taking part.
