In the Drink?

Intriguing rumours do the rounds:

Café society out-of-bounds;

But a slight relaxing of the rules

Return of pupils to their schools.

 

The little ones back at their desks

But it’s part-time only for the rest!

The Government still hums and haws

Will cafés open – out of doors?

 

I sense a deep-felt discontent

As May 8th not the first is meant

Though Commerce, stymied far too long

May open early to Spring throng!

 

Liège says police raids won’t be sent

As laisser-faire is their intent!

Meanwhile, promoted beer turns red*:

 “Diables Rouges”** - full-steam ahead!

 

How our freedoms totter on weird ride:

More a seesaw than a slide!

But guess what? Sun our mood improves

As we contemplate new moves!
