Scary. Not scared
Panic. Over prepared

One-hour exercise. Stuck in hometown
Houses going up. No one came round
Saved loads of money. Got out of debt
A year to remember. A year to forget

Conspiracies. Facts
Manmade or came from bats

It doesn’t matter to the deceased
High survival rate but still a beast
No nights out. Watched every box set
A year to remember. A year to forget

All drunk at home. Recycling increase
Chains closing down. Neighbours police

Love for key workers. Economic collapse
Everybody stands up and claps
New words and new etiquette
A year to remember. A year to forget

Learnt a new skill. Tik tok
Students like prisoners to their shock

Youth blamed. What’s it shown us
Got no work. Boris bonus
Lost a friend. Got a pet
A year to remember. A year to forget

December brings star every 800 years
Clouds in the sky. News about tiers

Ill with no symptoms. No smell or taste
Spreading like wildfire. Fast paced
Seeing family at Christmas is not a threat
A year to remember. A year to forget

Single, alone, Together
No holiday to escape the weather

Talking in queues. Blocked shopping isles
Same faces. No friendly smiles
Funny masks. Children upset
A year to remember. A year to forget

Amazing how wildlife thrives
We must get on with our lives

No more Trump. Americans wait
Lock down is over. Much debate
Brexit is done but not quite yet
A year to Remember. A year to Forget

Two vaccinations. Blank cheques
Happy New Normal. Onto the next
