(Brave New World) by Gerry Murphy
2020
Spring 2020
Locked down, but walked around, empty town
What’s that Sound ? Your stocks crashed down !
Mask your face - cotton, not lace - it’s just-in-case
Whole human race .. be ready to brace, Brace, BRACE
Summer 2020
Don’t sit and brood, - Walking’s good ! - thru park or wood
Get take-away food and boost your mood
Dispel the gloom - Meet on Zoom - Use any room
Don’t spread doom (…but it’s bust, not boom )
Autumn 2020
Furlough ending - but no-one spending, - make-do-and-mending
Banks not lending now …. recession trending
Final shout ! - luck run out ? - got no clout
Buck’s passed out Future in doubt …
Winter 2020
Christmas crowds - NOT allowed - country snow-ploughed
Under dark cloud still choirs sing aloud
New Year’s morning, - new day dawning, - no-one scorning
Caution warning but Hope IS forming
Spring 2021
Vaccine testing - antibodies ingesting - spread arresting
Experts attesting true ! not jesting
Twitter twirled - no insults hurled - snags uncurled
Flags unfurled to a … Brave New World
