Lockdown

Jumping on the bandwagon....

Lockdown

 

We are all in isolation

Sweetheart

Some treat it like a holiday

I say we are under siege

 

We are all in isolation

Baby

Some call it retribution

I say I aim to please

 

We are all in isolation

Honey

Some call it social distancing

I say watch where ya sneeze

 

We are all in isolation

Kitten

Even when together

Waiting for the second wave

 

We are all in isolation

Darling

But nothing lasts for ever

Or so the handbook says

It will only feel like forever Neville..It already feels like this week has had eleven sundays in it, what's it gonna be like if the second wave does hit and we get told to go back to our rooms again?
We're still under lockdown here and there is only so many ways you can rearrange your cd's, books, wardrobe and food cupboards. Today I'm going for colour co-ordination. I don't think it'll last though, I very nearly had tomato soup on toast for lunch, and coffee and gravy granules look way too alike.
I would have went a to z, but seperating the alphabetti spaghetti letters was a nightmare. 😀

I dont mind the isolation & quiet.. it is the way it has always been around here.. going into town tho is weird, not that I ever went much but.. I do know what you mean about that spaghetti tho.. that's why I go for the hoops these days.... Cheers mate:)

Those silent shopping queues are spooky, it's like the masked stepford wives in ill advised lycra. And the women are just as bad 😀

Only six feet apart but it feels like miles
In a shop, I stand close to my wife
Six feet apart the assistant shouts
I shout back we are touching in bed so why six feet now

Some day there will be a NEW NORMAl
I do wonder what that will be like
More working from home, more cycling/walking to work

[Neville]

welcome to the brave new world sir.. and thank you for taking a peek at these words ..

More use of technology
When I started work as a Process control instrument technician the supervisor said "One day the machines will do all the work they will only need engineers to run the factories"

No worries Nev, I just keep telling my friends that "Distance doesn't separates hearts." we maybe locked inside our homes but we are still mentally together. Even the people who once seemed distant now seem so caring, humans understand the importance of relationships. One day it'd be over we'll meet our friends and people. Nothing is forever.
Thanks for sharing this awesome poetry that gives hopes.
Be well and keep writing. :)

[Neville]

Thank you my friend... I sure am going to try & you too :)

We are all spending much more time together and it seems an age ago that we had the freedom to come and go without fear. Your terms of endearment reminded me that there are some families who are really struggling. Who can't adapt to this situation where neither parents are working, the kids are at home from school and money is short. A recipe for disaster. Watch the violence increase, and the numbers who will need therapy are rising. And the second wave? Yep, it will be on its way. All the visits to the crowded beaches, the VE day parties and demonstrations over the weekend. Wait for the spike and round two. We are happy to stay in. Better safe than sorry. Nothing lasts forever. True. Let's hope for a vaccine. That's our only way out. Missed this one Neville when you first posted it.

[Neville]

Neville

[Chris Shaw]

The first SARS virus completely disappeared after two years. Completely. It also came from China in 2002 and by 2004 there was not another reported case on the entire planet. This virus, dubbed Covid19 is also named, now get this, SARS II or SARS 2. So it's like the new and improved version, far more contagious and more devastating than the first SARS. I believe this virus was enhanced in the Wuhan laboratory before being released either accidentally or purposefully. The Washington Post published an article on the suspected source of the contagion. The article was blocked from most mainstream media. But here is a link to the YouTube post of the article. You may find this quite enlightening. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHz9d84PYuc&fbclid=IwAR2robRGqVJYnO_6bBDnbVTTsyjYG0esh5TdoY9E_RKovHXANVi-lg_P6ow

[Neville]

thanks for visiting my words Fabian.. I personally think that viruses like all life forms have an innate tendency to try and survive and as a consequence, tend to evolve... or at least try to..... Nevertheless, I might just go and check out that link.. cheers,

Neville

Note that "funding" for "enhancing" the virus was stopped by the United States a few years back. By common sense one doesn't stop funding for something there was never any funding for. I think our shady Uncle Sam isn't being honest with all his nieces and nephews.

[Neville]

I think there are a lot of folk around the entire globe who are concerned by the expressed values, beliefs, actions and omissions of a certain individual on your side of the pond. I know I am.

This would have been under the George W. Bush administration. So, quite awhile back to be blaming the current administration on this one.

Five adorable names to survive the ordeal... whether playing cards or
Chess... we take a chance... enjoy the dance and pray by the rapids of
rivers that spawn a new beginning... where life is never-ending and love is
borne of hummingbird sips of nectar. gently, Pat

[Neville]

thanking you has become something of a habit dear Pat... thank you again for checking in :)

[Patricia Wedel]

When you walk by the woods along the Rappahannock River you might encounter a special Deer whose tears have become part of the flow... you are welcome...

[Roland Petrov]

Enjoyed the humor, which is what we need right now. I liked the changing terms of endearment; quite clever.

[Neville]

Glad ya noticed darling.... I mean,, thank you Roland


Neville

[Roland Petrov]

[Neville]
