The Monster

'The Monster' — a poem about the coronavirus lockdown, written by resident Joyce Goodwin.
This Coronavirus is a real pain in the rear
Moreover it’s filling us all with some fear
So very many people have sadly died
And because of the virus – no-one by their side
Apparently is spread just about everywhere
Exhausting the people living in care
No visitors just now, which is a shame
But to keep us all safe one cannot blame
The authorised people here who want to keep us free
From this monster and we must agree
Whilst hard for us now – we are all virus free!
