It’s crunchy underfoot today
With Jack Frost’s
white work on display!
Our schools go
back - this time for real
Though quarantine
terms stay surreal…
An Oscar-star in Sixty-Four:
Now Sydney
Poitier is no more
So, another gem
falls from the crown
Of Hollywood in
tinsel town!
Down Under,
Melbourne hogs the news
Will they still
the Serb* refuse?
The jury’s out;
is the die cast?
For Djokovic
the clock ticks fast…
A fire (by
accident or design)
Hits the New
York news big time;
Just snippets
of life on this day
Against a
background tinged with grey …
