Unlockdown — April 2021
The UK is unlocking
Our suffering is ending
We can spend our furlough pennies
In the shops providing they’re still there
We can’t wait to get drinking
It’s not like we stopped any time soon
There’s nothing like drinking in a pub
Or in their garden that will do
As we carry our bags of useless shopping
Through the droves of people breathing fresh air
We wear our masks like we should have been doing last year
Now that we have chemicals in our veins
We feel invisible to the COVID19
She may still be lurking in multiple variants
For now though we feel like super(wo)man
Holidays are a plenty providing we staycation
The UK will witness a mini boom
The economy will recover they say
The business loans will need to be repaid, oh dear
Vaccines are rolling and the R rate is tumbling
Confidence is high, we might as well get that pint
You never know what the South African will do
It’s like playing Russian roulette with you know who
Unlockdown is happening, not everyone’s that sure
Old or young we all have our own fears
We loved Zoom but now it’s time to see everyone?
