CELIA'S POEMS

No 262       December 04

At my age I’ve got no time,

Just to mess about,

So come on Boris hurry up,

And help us to get out.

We’ve done everything we could,

But the illness we did get,

I bet some of those who didn’t care,

Haven’t had it yet.

I know they say we’re vulnerable,

Just because we’re old,

But vulnerable can listen,

And do what they are told.

When we listen to TV,

And see how things are going,

It’s not the hospitals that should be full,

The prisons should be overflowing.

Anyone who ignores the rules,

Should be made to pay,

Don’t listen to their excuses,

Or what they’ve got to say.

They soon will learn that rules are rules,

The hard way they will learn,

It’s back to the old saying,

Play with fire you’ll get burnt.

I realise all the jails are full,

So if people won’t do what we ask,

Let them do community work,

And make them wear a mask.
