Rocket Science

I scroll through Facebook, see images there,

Of families gathered and friends well met,

And I ask of them, with dawning despair,

Which part of stay at home, do you not get?

As I understand, it’s only okay,

To work when it’s strictly necessary;

You can walk outside for an hour a day,

Visit doctors, in an emergency,

Drive to the chemists and shops for foodstuff,

Essentials and drugs of prescriptive kind;

And that’s about all; it’s simple enough;

You don’t need a rocket scientist’s mind,

And so, once again, I ask, with regret:

Which part of stay at home, do you not get?
