CELIA'S POEMS

            No 23   April 9

            We’re suffering at the moment,

            It’s miserable right now,

            But think about the future,

            Listen close, I’ll tell you how.

            They say you’re never too old,

            To learn something new,

            Well since I’ve been on lockdown,

            I’m finding this quite true,

            Geoff’s very good at shopping,

            I don’t do it myself,

            He knows where they have everything,

            He also knows the shelf.

            We used to check the shelves at home,

            Then we would make a list,

            We’d arrive at the shops without it,

            Once again it had been missed.

            There wasn’t much we needed,

            But we’d have a look around,

            An when we got to checkout,

            It cost us forty pound.

            So now it’s better planning,

            Since things have been so bleak,

            Now we’re having it brought in for us,

            It’s got to last a week.

            When this thing is over,

            And no shopping every day,

            We’ll have to find something else to do,

            I think I’ve found a way,

            Now we’re saving so much money,

            And as everybody knows,

            I can do the shopping,

            And spend it all on clothes.
