Portugal - what Green Light?

Last hope for Britons overseas

To cool their heels in offshore breeze

Along some peaceful foreign shore

But Portugal is green - no more.


Last minute warning - travellers’ plight

Mad scramble for an early flight

New COVID flare-up it would seem

Back to square one – quarantine!

 

Travel agents running scared

New volte face leaves them unprepared

Masses yearned for an escape …

 Left thwarted, it is hard to take!

 

The travel business can’t make plans

For holidays on golden sands

Delays and cancellations peak

And of jobs lost, let us not speak!

 

Mind you, this June is blessed with sun

Will south coast towns be overrun?

British phlegm is sorely tried

More dreams are washed up on the tide!
