I thought I’d kind of cracked it with this Covid Lockdown stuff
Now I’ve woken up this morning feeling I’ve just had enough…
Enough of having nowhere that I really need to be
Enough of wearing ‘jamas while I do Zoom poetry
Enough of feeling knackered in the middle of the day
Enough of people acting like this bug has gone away
Enough of waking up my kids at 10, or 12, or 2
Enough of printing off the schoolwork that they have to do
Enough of always thinking that I’m failing left and right
Enough of trying to get the kids to bed before midnight
Enough of how Coronavirus seems intent to stay
Enough of how my life has changed in loads of different ways
Enough of standing miles apart and waving from afar
Enough of rules that oftentimes seem utterly bizarre
Enough of trying to get the kids to come out on a walk
Enough of hearing politicians talk and talk and talk
Enough of Lockdown every day, I’m done with all that stuff
If I could sum my feelings up in one word, it’s: ENOUGH!
