Felinity!

 Let’s take New Year Resolutions

2021 – year of confusions*

Disappointments and illusions

Life – a challenge!

Protracted upset of world nations

Lock-down status – tough temptations!

Arcane plans for vaccinations

But we manage.

 

If we look through Future’s lens

Maybe we can pick out trends

Which the Universe now sends;

We’ve gone too far

Restrictions of all kinds are grim

Past happy freedoms seen as sin

Human patience wearing thin

We’re under par.

 

Cats have nine lives - we have one;

They stalk the streets in search of fun

Or bask content in gentle sun

While we’re indoors;

We both on sofa can stretch out

Far niente rules, there is no doubt

But now we feel like lashing out

With angry claws!
