Roll Call on February 1st

The days roll by, a new month starts

February: short - with hearts!

Has much to promise, but with snow

Its entry in our lives is slow …

 

Youth unemployment, no vacations

Borders closed by many nations

In Myanmar - a coup d’état;

Have Hong Kong protests gone too far?

 

With health now put in pride of place

The US shows a kinder face

Though early days, Hope spreads its wings

Fingers crossed for brighter things!

 

BREXIT and price hikes increase;

Bushfires in Oz, earthquakes out East …

Hidden somewhere is good news

But as yet, I find no clues!
