Roses are red, and masks are few
What a change, do what you do
Keep head held high
Reach for the sky
Breathe in freedom, you got through
Roses are red, and masks are few
What a change, do what you do
Keep head held high
Reach for the sky
Breathe in freedom, you got through
Congratulations all, it’s time to cheer
After so much pain, let’s have no fear
Meet loved ones soon
Such a magical boon
So smile again, shed a happy tear
Written in response to the lifting of Covid-19 restrictions.
The end is nigh, for a difficult year
So much pain, and many a tear
Now move on with hope
Of course you’ll cope
Just do your best, and have no fear
The end is nigh, for a very bad year
So much pain, and a billion sad tears
Keep head held high
For we must try
To move on bravely, without the fear
Ah, there you are, long time no see
High rubbing elbows, and smiles of glee
I feel so good
I knew I would
Back together again, and drinks by the sea
Back Together Again
A time of darkness, is almost done
For you and me, and everyone
The days grow longer
We’re getting stronger
And into the light, we gladly run
M ay is the month, the last of Spring
A nd all expecting, a warm upswing
Y es, it’s time to chance
B eam wide and dance
E njoy the air, and have a fling!
Roll up your sleeve, yes that’s fine
A quick sharp jab, it took no time
I slept like a log
Not a drop a grog
Feeling much better, what a good sign
She stands steadfast, a classic trope
Shining snow white, a beacon of hope
Against sea and storm
As gusts ‘round her swarm
Facing whatever, she’ll always cope
It’s the same old story, as Rory G* once sang
Over everything now, Covid clouds do hang
The days are numbing
But brighter ones coming
Back to us soon, like a timely boomerang
