LOCKDOWN FREEDOM!
We’re coming out of Lockdown,
We’re as happy as can be!
No more Stay at Home rules,
We’re going to be free!
No more outdoor meetings,
No more rule of six,
We can visit people’s homes
And have family in the mix!
We can finally get a haircut
No more shaggy locks,
Time to cast off track suits
And air those Summer frocks!
We’re counting down the hours
Till we get our second jab,
We’ll all be happy celebrating
Life will be just fab!
The shops will all be open,
So much money to spend,
What will we buy first?
That will all depend.
No more awkward Zoom meetings,
No more How do I unmute?
We can meet everyone in person
Won’t that just be cute?
Start thinking about holidays,
Where would you like to go?
Staycations are all the rage
Flying is still a no go!
People keep on asking
What have you missed most?
Dinner parties, trips to the pub
Or visits to the coast?
My personal longing has been
None of the typical bugs.
Just seeing all my grandchildren
To give them enormous hugs!
