Here is a poem I wrote on the 21/04/2020



looking for my "me time".....


Why am I waking at 5 am?

It’s happening all of the time


Too much to do or too much to think?

Or am I now losing my mind


I’m us-ually home all alone

Is it cause they’r e always around?


Who’s going to cook and mop the floor

It's becoming a bit of a grind


It’s time for bed now, put that tablet down

Is what I constantly say!


and after days of repeating this

I'm struggling not to frown


My once lovely hubby's now a grumpy git

I don't care for the tone of his sound.


I need some time to write my thoughts

like a clock that needs to unwound


It's 8 o'clock , they’ll soon be up

I’d better go see to it then


Then it’s home schooling kid, dinner then bed

which suits me right down to the ground


Corona Corona will you please go away as this is becoming a bore

Or can they please hurry up with the finding a cure

and put an end to the lockdown.

So glad we made it through this and it was agonizing even for us essential servers who couldn't quarantine.


We are meant to be social, connect, and physically touch each other so having that taken away is devastating. But what's even more devastating is taking other people for granted. Shouldn't take a pandemic to see this...
