Day twenty eight FINALE

How Julie Andrews might have responded to news of the end of lockdown

Bookshops and tea shops and days out with besties

Hugging with parents and no fear of nasties
Bright days of sunshine with no daily tolls

These are the days I want the most of all


Chip shops and seaside and drives out with no fines

Old country gardens not straddling tier lines

Life’s simple pleasures like they used to be

These are the thoughts that now fill me with glee

When my date comes

When the jab works

When I’m feeling sad.

I simply remember the pre-covid times

And then I don’t feel, so sad.

Lel Meleyal With humble and respectful apologies to Rodgers and Hammerstein.
