Frustration in the care home

Frustration in the care home

Shirley and Sheila sat watching TV,
As Boris announced the isolation.
Arthur and Sidney sipped coffee and tea,
Listening as he spoke to the nation.
What’s all this nonsense? I don’t understand,
Said Charles, the veteran, to Steve, the nurse,
Why have all family visits been banned?
We lived through conflict, and that was far worse.
It's not right, said Fred, there's really no need;
Why all this panic? we’ve been here before.
Mavis and Sam evidently agreed:
They had, after all, survived a world war.
In short, their reactions got on Steve’s tits;
For God's sake said he, you can’t catch The Blitz..
