The Beast of Covid

Hello Poetry Lovers

Our lovely talented poet and fellow Booming Lovely Trisha Broomfield has recently been touched by the cold hand of COVID.

This ruthless virus plays no favourite and can be random in its selection. Fortunately Trisha recovered swiftly …

Meanwhile, in her usual prolific guise, Trisha penned this splendid piece, which sums it all up. Great piece, Trisha, and so glad you’re on the mend. Well done and keep them coming….

Covid Beast

This Covid bug’s a funny beast,

it’s neither famine, nor is it feast,

I’m eating beans and oven chips,

no healthy food has passed my lips.

Green veg and salad has me beaten,

and oh the biscuits I have eaten!

My husband has lost fourteen pounds,

just as dramatic as it sounds,

but me? I’m munching chocolate buttons

Covid’s turned me into a glutton.

And when I’m out the other side,

I won’t be slim, I’ll be quite wide.

The cat peers in from safe outside

he’s looking very mystified.

Eat creamy puds, trifles and custard

you’ll soon be back to cut the mustard!
