Just Saying

Still Just Saying

Go to work, as long as it’s at home

No socialising, you can chat on the phone

Takeaway open, but you can’t dine at a table

Use up £10 vouchers, while you are able

Masks in schools, in lockdown areas

Or Headteachers choice, that seems fairest

If showing symptoms, please book a test

Nearest centre to Brighton, up in Inverness

Cases are spiking, although no one is actually ill

So to be blissfully unaware, take the blue pill

Blame first the old, middle aged, now the young

It’s all the peoples fault, for wanting some fun

Restrictions are back, just in time for planned protests

Although, there is still 5days, so Coroni can have a rest

Six people only, whether you are outdoors or in

Now increased fines, breaking the rules, is a sin

Peaceful protests, in cities world wide

Not in the news, this is info they like to hide

Do as you are told, hide behind your mask

Otherwise, restrictions will last and last

Social media, now closing down peoples accounts

For questioning the lunacy, and just speaking out

Terms are changing from October the first

Facebook, so caring, about feelings getting hurt

Death rates are lower than annual average.

So scaremongering, with cases, to cause mental damage

Still being told that an untested vaccine is our saviour

So until it arrives, be on your best behaviour

Oh by the way, don’t you worry about Brexit

This enormous smokescreen, will help you forget it

Leave it to us, to decide what is best

Let’s extend furlough, you all need the rest

All football matches, will now be screened from September

Just to keep you happy, and so you won’t remember

That these conditions were only for a few weeks

To flatten the curve, till after the peak

It’s very important, that you have faith in the elected

When you voted, is this what you expected?

It’s time to say no, to this farcical situation

And bring back some sanity, to this new Dystopian nation

About the Creator

Warwick Holding

I’ve always been a storyteller, I’d love to say I was a writer, but I can’t. If people were even reading this on the toilet. I’d be humbled.

I write short, but true stuff, I try to mix honesty with humour, because it’s the only way I know
