The warning goes out,
Although lockdown has passed
And all are in tiers,
The message went out.
Be careful,
Be careful of you behaviour
Especially when you going out,
Going out to visit,
To visit elderly relatives.
Then it came to me,
I am elderly,
Although in good health.
Does it mean I will not have visitors?
Is it a warning to others
To keep away,
To keep away from me
Because of my age.

A fine write Gold.
Erm with friends or alone - we gotta eat Christmas dinners with masks on! Eh?!
Thanks Orchi.
Every time I put a mask on the police arrest me!!

Why on earth do they have tiers - it causes so much confusion and discord - for goodness sake a set of rules across the entire country if we are serious about getting the numbers down. So many wimps out there - bite the bullet.
I totally agree Michael. We must get these numbers down, I think it is becoming pretty obvious that we are going back into lockdown after Christmas.

worth waiting for that meaningful reveal at the end, a thought provoking take on a topic that effects each of us so differently, and yet has us sharing the same apprehension...
Happy Holidays Andy
Thank you Mek. Yes we are each affected in a different way during this Strange Time but we will survive and all will be well eventually.
Andy
PS I have corrected the spelling - thank you.
A sad but well written message here Andy.
The tiers divide us, and in this case, so does age, but in my opinion, we are all in the same boat in this horrible pandemic storm.
Bravo again, and please do take care.
Thank you Ben, yes I too believe we are all in the same boat but I am sure we will get through it.
Keep Safe
Andy
Stay safe for a bit longer. Have a Happy Holiday.
I will still be around for a long time yet.
Happy holiday Jerry.
Andy
Sound sentiments.
Thank you Trenz, much appreciated.
Andy
Well done. We should all be ashamed that it's true.
Thank you Joe, very true.

We live in troubled times Andy. I don't want to visit anybody, I don't want anybody to visit me. I know I am lucky, still have my wife, so it is just the two of us for this Holiday Season. Turkey is out, don't think there is a turkey for two. Maybe a little hen, or what the heck, two sausages.
True Fred.
Surely you would want four sausages - two each, after all it is Christmas.
