In the meantime.....

In the meantime....

The windows are beaming,

The cooker is gleaming,

The curtains are clean,

The lawn looks like a village green!

The floors’ been steam cleaned;

The kettles’ been steaming -

Needing some caffeine!

Out of my routine but

Have been very keen!

Thrown away old magazines,

Hard worked the washing machine!

This is obscene but

Found a mouldy tangerine!

Scrubbed all things unseen

Until they just sheened!

I’ve overseen and

Organised histamine

And thryoxine;

Some antiseptic creams.

Sunscreens!

(And other meds that were seen)

The TV screen

Shines like a dream!

Don’t mean to sound mean

But have been silently screaming.

And we’re all in the same boat

It seems.

And all this has been done

Due to being in quarantine

And there’s no vaccine

For the Covid nineteen.

And hope it’s all over

By the next Halloween,
