Have been away from Poet Bay for awhile, so thought I’d return and try and write a quick poem


Long time gone

Well it’s been three years away from Poet Bay. Where you been I hear you say....I’ve been busy my friends doing a bit of this and a bit of that, and then came the Pandemic now wasn’t that a blast. We’ve been shielding me and my wife afraid to to leave the house afraid for our life. We’ve become online warriors shopping to be done, buying everything from gravy to games for fun. If it weren’t for key workers don’t know where we would be they all deserve a medal and so do we. I’m double jabbed now but still wearing my mask, I don’t think Covid is going anywhere fast. I’ve got a really bad back so it’s the Doctors for me after three hours on the phone there’s no one to see. They are going to phone me in three days time at which point the Dr will decide whether I need to be seen, that for me is really to long so I filled in an e consult form, this got results and Doctor phoned me prescribed Diazepam it’s to relax me you see. I really believe that we are at the end of a GP service we can no longer defend, from now on its all online and that’s our lot, whether we like it or not
