Things to do in Lock-down 3

 

I’m going to

• clean the house
• and renovate the old décor
• I’ll exercise and go for walks
• I’ll paint and draw

 

It’s good to have a plan

But like new year resolutions

They go quickly down the pan

And my good intentions

Like my January Inspiration

Is quickly replaced by apathy

And procrastination

 

Cleaning – what’s the point?

When no-one’s allowed to visit

And if the décor the same

as they saw before

It isn’t going to matter, is it?

 

Exercise took a Christmas break

And it’s hard to get restarted

The weight gain from the Christmas cake

Has made me feel downhearted

 

It’s cold down in my garden shed

Where I like to paint and draw

It’s frosty and the wood has swelled

And I can’t get in the door

 

I’ve cut my hair, a snip or two

Cut all round till it was gone

It couldn’t wait till end of lock-down

Kept calm and carried on.

 

I had a lot of plans for January

But it’s the same old procrastination

So Lock-down three can “do one”

I’ll stay in bed until

I can get a vaccination
