CELIA'S POEMS

            No 72   May 28

            When we started isolation,

            Just for a week or two,

            I said so we can keep in touch,

            I’d write some poems for you.

            Well now it’s over 70,

            And I’m still going strong,

            And every day I’m happy,

            Someone new has joined our throng,

            I try to keep it topical,

            And though things do keep changing,

            When I run out of ideas,

            I do some re-arranging.

            So I write about my family,

            Sometimes funny, sometimes sad,

            But then of course that’s how life is,

            My stories make you glad.

            We’ve known each other many years,

            You thought you knew me well,

            It goes to show you’ve no idea,

            When all these tales I tell.

            Depending how long we are in,

            Other snippets you may see,

            It’s obvious I’ve got lots to tell,

            Because I’m 83.
