Making the Grade?

 Although you can grade eggs for size,

Grading people isn’t wise

In terms of numbers do we know

Where the COVID carriers go?

 

With no symptoms, it is hard

To know whose neighbours are ill-starred 

This tag and trace when we eat out

Is hit or miss with room for doubt …

 

The world of culture in all forms

A Neverland where COVID swarms

Schools and Higher Learning places

A breeding ground for unmasked faces.

 

Before - we did not realise

That freedom was our greatest prize

Now stymied, thwarted and tied down

Corona, well named, wears the crown!
