From the general feedback on social media, it seems I’m not alone in finding that this most recent lockdown has been the most difficult.
So…before this blog post gets too depressing, I’ve created a little rap song for you all to enjoy. I hope the song and the attached memes bring a smile to your face.
“This rap song is not tryin to be controversial
This grandma just wants to sing ya a couple of verse-ials
If this recent lockdown has you falling into a funk
You gotta dig deep to retrieve your spunk
When COVID drags on for months on end
And you can no longer meet up with your friends
Family have now become distant relatives
Cuz we are all sitting at home like isolated captives
Visits with grandpas, grandmas, kids, and in-laws,
Now make you all a group of wanted outlaws
So you decide to go out and play
But wait – HEY – no you cannot do that today!
So, I’m relegated to wandering my local hood
Daydreaming of world travel, oh!...if I only could!
Instead I’m making frequent trips to the refrigerator
In hopes of a new discovery in there
Only to find the same food stuffs as an hour before
So I decide to go back outside to walk some more
As I settle once again into my neighbourhood walk
And decide the flowers are really pretty on this city block
And I notice the birds singing galore
Suddenly the urge to pee cannot be ignored
Now finding a washroom is an urgent request
McD’s, Timmy’s and libraries no longer have facilities for guests
COVID has no mercy on every level
Even taking a walk these days is at your own peril
Eureka when I find washroom open!
And realize…
It’s the best find of the week – my life has become so patheteek!
Tick tock tick tock –
Vaccine lineups – a little price to pay
So that we can all eventually go back out to play!
Let’s hope this is the last lockdown
For every province, city, suburb and town
Not sure how much longer my cuckoo can stay in its clock
Before it flees the coop for freedom from this deadlock
I hope you all stay safe and sane
For when we all get to meet up again!”
Cheers and I’m so looking forward to meeting up with friends and acquaintances soon!
