Social Distancing

You know I really miss you

I wish that we could meet

But even if that was possible

In between us would be six feet!

 

When will the courts reopen?

Is a question I don’t even ask

And even if I could’ve asked it

It would be muzzled by a mask!

 

A tribunal started functioning

With furniture all spaced out

The experience was so surreal

It’s fate could well be in doubt

 

When the judges feel thirsty

And request a cold drinks tray

The bearer dutifully brings it

But plonks it six feet away..

 

Hope was springing eternal

At thought of lockdown lifted

But just as D-Day came close

The goal post itself was shifted!

 

Arguments get misplaced

In attempts to stifle a cough

That’s why I sometimes feel

Now enough is really enough

 

So I stare at my mobile screen

Expecting the smileys to sing

Anti-Social feelings pop up too

With all this Social Distancing …
