VERSATILE VERSE 3

They’ll understand that we had no choice
The scientists ruled, they are clever boys

They sit in their labs in gleaming white coats

They sit in their labs in gleaming white coats
making decisions which keep us all off the roads

The streets are so quiet and most venues are closed

The streets are so quiet and most venues are closed
Feel like a Chinese, just fed up of toast.

Looks like Nature has caught the Virus as well

Looks like Nature has caught the Virus as well
But at this time of the year it's so hard to tell

I love all the colours - shades of yellow, orange and red

I love all the colours - shades of yellow, orange and red
But can't see much, spent all day in bed.

Oh please, let's have some sun tomorrow

Oh please, let's have some sun tomorrow
and an end to the virus and no more sorrow

Bring on the vaccine and let us go free

Bring on the vaccine and let us go free
To bring back the children to sit on my knee

To go out to supper with friends as I choose

To go out to supper with friends as I choose
And hug those I love and really let loose

And revel in being with family and friends

And revel in being with family and friends
Even our enemies, let's make amends.

Life's too short to carry a grudge

Life's too short to carry a grudge
It only leaves emotional sludge

Broken hearts can indeed be mended

Broken hearts can indeed be mended
Neglected feelings can be be tended

It doesn’t need a clever brain or a degree

It doesn't need a clever brain or a degree
Just give and take from you and me

A bit of thought before we act.

A bit of thought before we act.
Speak always with a bit of tact

It doesn't cost much to be nice

It doesn't cost much to be nice
Though some on here think that's a vice

shall I make the new start?

It’s not good to be judgemental

It’s not good to be judgmental
Let’s resolve to be more gentle

With our observations and comments

With our observations and comments
Although I know about this we have frequent laments

Now it's time to move on and hope for better things

Now it's time to move on and hope for better things
When this is over our joy will take flight on wings

We'll appreciate togetherness like never before

We'll appreciate togetherness like never before
We'll keep in touch with family, even more.

Some friends though are keeping away for fear

Some friends though are keeping away for fear
They'll spread the virus far and near

So we'll soldier on, however sad

So we'll soldier on, however sad
Next year can't possibly be this bad

The new vaccines will soon be here

The new vaccines will soon be hear
We'll leave staying in behind us without a tear

We'll even start making holiday plans

We'll even start making holiday plans
I'll like to travel to far off lands

Timbuktu would be a good start

Timbuktu would be a good start
As long as no need to stay apart
