Its my birthday tomorrow in lockdown again

I take it quite calmly, don’t want to complain

I know there are many much worse off than me

Stuck overseas, loved ones they can’t see

I realise the world’s in a terrible way

And people affected by COVID each day

I know that my worries are small and not real

But I cannot help the way that I feel

So here I am Just me and the dog

Working from home, writing my blog

Doing the garden, watching TV

Reading a book and drinking whisky

Walking the dog and zooming with style

Texting and phoning and chatting a while

Thinking that next year’s the one for me

When we will all be COVID free

But this year I’d just like to say that I’m pissed.

One more birthday celebration missed!

Tomorrow if you have one minute free

And are happy to spend it thinking of me

Find a nice cup and fill it with tea

And we’ll share a moment virtually!
