Dom

Dom

When she had the dread disease

That brought the country to its knees

The government advisor’s spouse

Should have stayed inside the house

In isolation for a spell

Along with Dominique as well

According to the rules set down

By Dom the party and the clown

But clearly having none have that

She called her husband for a chat

And consequently off they fled

To Durham many miles ahead

Where baby sitters just in case

Resided at Dom’s parent’s place

There being not a single one

In London who could have their son

Should Dom and Mary start to feel

Both equally extremely ill

And sure enough Dom did indeed

The next day follow Mary’s lead

He had to spend some days in bed

With fever and an aching head

And when his son went in decline

The remedy was 999

But it was nothing thankfully

A test proclaimed him COVID free

And some days later Dom himself

Was feeling in much better health

He made a call to those in power

And told them he felt better now

But Mary was quite worried still

She wasn’t going home until

She knew his eyes were at their best

And so therefore at her request

To make quite sure that he could see

Dominque drove his family

To Barnard Castle where he found

His eyesight to be safe and sound

It was the simplest of trials

That half hour trip of thirty miles

But Dominque unwittingly

Albeit acting flippantly

In view of nothing being said

About the trip that went ahead

Has started now a brand new trend

Inasmuch as I comprehend

Now if you have COVID 19

And babysitters can’t be seen

You can visit most anywhere

Go on a daytrip once you’re there

And if your vision is impaired  

All prosecution will be spared

As long as you remember to

Say that’s what Dominique would do
