Out of Lockdown

Out of Lockdown  

So happy friends can visit,
so glad that they may dine
No more sitting out in rain,
relax indoors to quaff the  wine

We don’t have to meet up on a bench,
in cold and gloomy weather
Wearing bulky anoraks,
seems like winters last forever

They can sit upon my easy chair,
or sprawl on my settee
But just a minute, oh my God,
a thought’s just come to me

I’ll have to vac the carpet,
brush spider web from wall
Clean the glass in windows,
maybe not so good at all

Spay all the  units,
then mop the kitchen floor
Polish up the furniture,
I know there will be more

Bleach all facilities,
then buff up the brass
Never enjoy doing housework,
I’ve always thought it crass

When finished I’ll be shattered,
‘twill be a sorry shock
Cos’ I’ve fallen asleep and missed them……
as I didn’t hear them knock.
