Innocent watchers of a time we didn't choose life, all said and measured despite its then downside didn't paralyse the doors of freedom were wide open the day didn't agonise-
never mind the fatigue the weight of an unfulfilled day drank beer had a smoke cracked a silly joke played poker till after midnight betted a buck in the Sunday races all legitimised-
my wife said during the weekend go and buy some fertilisers the plants look quite needy and sick after that drop at baker's wholemeal as always the shop is called Paradise-
oh, I forget jam and butter too you never managed without them I could see from your dissatisfied eyes-
Saturdays Eugene would ring: buddy fishing-time same spot bring tuna-sandwiches your wife's always the best don't forget the beer mackerel and bream would be our dinner's prize-
( that was before The Terror struck after which left us all unstuck)
who would not remember December 2019? what a dreadful scene in a faraway land who would bother looking back who would comprehend?
Wrathful watchers it's April 2020 now reluctant prisoners life has led us down!
