'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!
