Lockdown Opportunity
a good year
Lockdown left me feelingUseless.Services rejectedSkills neglected,But I’m not wastingThe time.Idle hands will be employed,Not null and void,To pick up pen, to pluck the strings,And other long forgotten things.Could be time to strip and paint.(For me it ain’t!My mind’sToo refined!)But even better I’ll employMyself in spreading joyTo lonely folks, by calling them.For meThat fixes their, and my, ennui. Written at the beginning of the first lockdown but it has worked really well.
