Since the global pandemic
Edicts from the top
When will they bring out
The heavy squad
The gestapo types no doubt
another way to crop us all
Our freedom to flout
And although it’s just a few
Most of us under house arrest
Watching others do
Sunbathing and fishing
And everyone is told
Get your foodstuffs delivered
But for many that’s on hold
And now we see wild animals
Realising they
apparently don’t see the cars
So much
Most people stay
Out of the towns and villages
And so the creatures feel
They have the right to wander
Down their little eyes to peel
Sheep and deers and others souls
They venture into town
Looking around the market bins
Yes up hills and down
Nibbling at the greenery growing in the street.
And taking over parts of places
What might be seen as meat
But there is no confrontation
They are free to wander they
Can be their unpredictable selves
And walk about all day
They just might see a copper
And they just might not
Although we hear they are giving out
fines
For the public pot
The next law will be feeding them
You wait it’s coming we
Are being closed down soon it will be
breathing actually
The disharmony is evident
Amongst the people who
With the PM in the hospital
Do they know what to do
And It’s all down to scientists
What about common sense
It’s muddled and it’s chaotic
What is their defence
Lock down numbers rising
Businesses fading fast
School kids some stir crazy
With many now aghast
At all the years of working
With very little pay
And Brexit done and dusted
And tHe this lot comes our way
Locked down threatened all the time
Basically left to rot
And the wild ones must be laughing loud
For the freedom now they have got.
