Unlockdown — April 2021

A Pint of Beer with a map of the UK drowning inside of it!

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?
