Masks Off!

Suddenly, it’s summer time

Long warm days are here – sublime!

The world becomes a brighter place

Without a mask stuck on our face!

 

Relaxation of the rules* at last

Inside dining is a blast

The cinemas can “do their thing”

In fact, there’s more of everything!

 

We had no Spring, just cold and wet

Long days at home – with internet …

Now social “bubbles” float away

More guests can meet for that “big” day!

 

But “normal” life is not resumed;

 Corona’s presence is assumed

The scene has shifted in our Play

How it will end now, who can say?

 

Old certainties give way to doubt;

That Man is fragile we’ve found out

New-found freedoms yes, but we

Must learn responsible to be!
