Lockdown Blues

Charles E Worth
February 2021

A theatre with no play
A will but not a way
A potter without clay

Silver that’s lost its shine
A weekend with no red wine
An empire in decline

A china shop with a bull
A glass that’s not half full
A push instead of a pull

A car with a tyre that’s flat
A mouse that’s just met a cat
The Queen not wearing a hat

A picnic in the rain
No seats free on the train
A backside with a pain

Hot chocolate without mugs
A lettuce full of slugs
Grandchildren with no hugs
