Just Askin’

I’m not questioning politics,
So just explain, I’m in a fix

Sat here scratching head in doubt
Is it safe now, to go out

I’ve never been a one to shirk
But not everyone can walk to work

For some employment can be far
Nor do we all possess a car

Have no wish to kick up a fuss
But leave six foot gap on train or bus?

I have always written poetry but when my husband died suddenly I used it as a kind of therapy. I don’t usually share these unless I feel they will help someone in distress. The ones I share are mostly humorous intended to bring a smile in what I feel can be a very lonely world... I have written four booklets and now a Corona chronicles which is just twelve poems writ while I am in jail...oh sorry I meant lockdown. Am on my way for a second booklet.. Trying to make folk smile and take a minutes release from these difficult times helps me forget my sight problems..
