Rediscover old CDs ~
Missed singing out loud.

Not always that straightforward ~
The road not taken.

A poem a day so far ~
Might just go o’er.

A battered garden –
Such unseasonal rainfall ~
Ferns are loving it.

The Boy’s school poem –
Funny, topical, rhyming ~
Very proud Dada.
‘We have missed sports, buddies, football and more.
COVID has definitely been quite a chore.
But when we’re older we will be able to tell so many stories.
We have played so many games such as scattergories
We have turned into cavemen with a mountain of hair on our head,
Attending zoom calls eating pot noodles in our bed.
We eat our food as we wish,
My bedroom is filled dish after dish.
Covid is like being hit by a brick wall,
But at least we have football volleyball.
COVID will be over soon
But in the meantime do something productive you lanky spoon.’
(Odin Cleary, Sixth Class)

Dry January.
