Today’s poem comes from Nicky. It arrived just after Paul’s. But it’s definitely been worth waiting for. Thank you Nicky.
The Corona Runner
Who thought the neighbours
would do such favours,
Their kindness has been priceless
Donations for the health service
who advise us to wipe our surface
Already our houses so much cleaner,
It’s time for lessons in Argentina,
So our Spanish does not vanish,
Our vocabulary to replenish.
From her flat in Buenos Aires
Fati regales us with her stories
Jogging along the Bollin
Fields full of lambs frolickin’
Photos of ducks on my run
Hopefully Eva finds them fun
Round the fields I explore
Can’t wait to do reps once more
A journey cycling better than idling
My intake of vitamin D to heighten
The pedestrians I try not to frighten
Little we knew we would have to queue
For some flour the shops we scour
Dave working in the garden
Or on the phone to Chris Morgan
As the beach I cannot reach
On the computer I myself teach
Don a whizz at the quiz
Rebecca’s class just the biz
Averting gloom we chat on Zoom
We’ll not resume before the flowers bloom
Pray Good we meet up soon
Unfortunately not before June

A girl obviously needs to be prepared when on a long bike ride after a spicy meal the day before 🙂
