From an ABC Friends Friend’s mother.

From an ABC Friends, Friend’s mother.

Greeting from Gulag Covid-19 Cell 56.

Once we jolly retirees

Thought the world was ours to roam

We never dreamt the law would say

We have to stay at home.

From friends and family we must stay apart

Our jailer is a virus and it hasn’t any heart

In this archipelago of isolation

Orders stern keep us asunder

Cos it’s better being five feet apart

Than being six feet under

From friends and family we must stay apart

Our jailor is a virus and it hasn’t any heart.

How we miss the joys and freedoms

And celebrations when we met

But we cheer up with love and funnies

Sent to us on the internet

From friends and family we must stay apart.

Our jailer’s a virus and it hasn’t any heart.
