Two Metres

On shopping in a pandemic……..

It’s Lockdown and it’s so frustrating

We’ve been imbibing gin by litres

I’m quite good at distancing

Why can’t YOU comprehend two metres?

It’s not that hard to count Two Hundred

Or inches around thirty nine

I respect your personal space

So why on earth can’t you, with mine?

My lifetime I have spent quite lonely

No-one wanted to get near

But now we have this huge pandemic

Inhibitions disappear

I creep along the Aisle at Tesco

Like Tom Cruise avoiding Lasers

but this mission is impossible

I wish that they’d start selling Tasers!

I’ve washed my hands and sanitised them

and watched the bulletins each day

but heed this warning to your health

Stay Safe, Stay Clean…..But STAY AWAY
