COVID in July
By Catherine Hill
Covid in July
With restrictions being eased what we are going to find
People flaunting regulations certainly comes to mind
Mass gatherings and protests allowed, no social distancing observed
Marchers displaying placards and banners shouting
slogans it makes good sense that we would feel somewhat unnerved
What do we find a month down the track
Back to square one, in fact one step forward, two steps back
Security guards in hotels have caused a debacle
No proper training, moonlighting in other jobs
How this has been allowed to happen is nothing short of remarkable
In between all this was choosing a bed
Trying out mattresses, wandering the store
Our Japanese salesgirl giving us the tour
When out of the blue, a couple, also Japanese, were alongside
Trying to get her attention, using their language was somewhat snide
The Male adorned in lycra leggings, iridescent flashes up the calves
Suddenly became my companion lying on the mattress, shall we go halves
I jumped off the mattress giving him a glare
He responded with a grin, obviously without a care
Classic example no understanding of rules that apply
Social distancing on a mattress with a stranger will not guarantee a buy.
