You know you’ve got pandemic fatigue
When every day feels just the same;
Is it Monday today?
Or a Wednesday?
Lockdown’s a long waiting game!
The C-word is worse still than Brexit
And, God weren’t we tired of that?
Everyone with their views
Nothing else on the News
And now we have both to combat!
There’ve been thirty-five million cases
Deaths of a million plus;
Exhaustion and strain…
Second spike, winter’s rain;
While world-leaders keep lying to us.
Students are locked up like prisoners,
When they’re wanting to party like mad;
No drinks in the bar
Or drives in your car
To visit your folk…that’s so sad.
Meanwhile across the Atlantic
Arrogance and narcissism go on
Trump says it’s a breeze,
No signs of a wheeze!
The folly of this seems so wrong!
We must all sustain our commitment
To not spread Covid and to stay safe.
Wash hands like we’re asked,
Keep distanced, wear masks…
All these rules and restraints start to chafe.
So we’re tired of living in limbo
Awaiting a vaccine…one that’s safe to take.
With no forward plans,
Life’s not in our hands;
Tick the days off…drink wine and eat cake!
