Post-confinement - Belgian-style!

Though for most it's «Stay at home!»
Sophie Wilmès* sets the tone
In Belgium we can de-confine
In several stages – over time ...

Public transport: O.K. with a mask
Schools open – but not every class
Hairdressers can wash, cut and set
But hold your horses, not quite yet!

To nurseries gardeners can go
Expect long queues, they can be slow.
Home improvements? Yes, allowed
All 'Brico' shops expect a crowd...

For sales of fabric, sewing thread
And elastic – go ahead!
In Belgium – all rules are arcane
So life is different – but the same!
