AN ODE TO SILVER LININGS by Anon
The virus came and scared us all, from Felixstowe to Senegal.
Hugs and kisses were forbidden, in case in these a bug was hidden.
“Stay indoors” we were all told, just keep family in the fold.
Boredom started to be problematic, but then the games came from the attic.
Ludo, draughts and Buckaroo; Cribbage, dommies and puzzles too.
Anything to keep things sane, families start to chat again.
Phones and iPads were laid to rest, as families found new interests.
Conversation came back once more, behind many a closed front door.
In July restrictions will be eased, but let’s carry on talking to each other – Please!!
