In these very strange times for us all I have written a poem you may like. Nothing to do with wrestling but hope you guys are all keeping safe and well.
Happy New Year was just 3 months ago
But a different world now from the one that we know
A world full of freedom, travel and laughter
No longer exists cos we need to live smarter
Confined to our houses, our families are safer
Our friends have to wait, we can see them all later
Protect mothers and fathers, your sons or your daughter
Because if we go outside we’re like lambs to the slaughter
The sun may be shining, the sky may be blue
But don’t go outside, people die if you do
As the clock ticks away, time seems to stand still
PLEASE stay indoors, you’ll save lives if you will
You don’t have to like him, Boris doing his best
With his team full of experts, to stop this damn pest
This invisible killer, no conscience or care
Sweeping the world, step outside if you dare
But guys, listen please, to the advice we’ve been given
I know it’s no fun but you do have to listen
It doesn’t care about your race or your team
And I’m sorry if it has put a halt to your dream
Yes tears will be shed for those who are taken
Never forgotten but don’t be mistaken
Most will survive and life will go on
History will live for all those who have gone
To ALL the key workers, this message to you
A really BIG THANK YOU, for all that you do
From Doctors to cleaners and all in between
This country salutes you, each one a King or a Queen
Guys, we will laugh again with our friends in the pub
We’ll share banter with those who follow a club
And we’ll moan about people we don’t really like
But we’ll drink and we’ll dance all through the night
We’ll remember those people whose lives were cut short
How we lived in our houses like trapped in a fort
When toilet rolls ruled as if they were gold
And all of our lives were put on a hold
We WILL party again like we have done before
But for now we must wait as we settle a score
With an enemy like no other, unknown to man
No guns, tanks or weapons – not even a plan
People are frightened, some scared and alone
Show them you care and just pick up the phone
Look at your children, thank God they’re ok
Your neighbour may not be, so call them today,.
So guys, please listen, and do think of others
ALL our lives count, not just yours over anothers
I know this is hard but it won’t be forever
So be strong and stay safe, WE ARE IN THIS TOGETHER!!!
Reassurance from Andy. Things will get better. Maybe not as quickly as we hoped, but they will.
A cliché but true-it is darkest before the light
Now seems a good time to remind ourselves of this item from Andy last March. So long ago, but things will get better soon.
Thanks Andy. A brilliant comeback to the forum. The message is what we hear every day, but you've said it so much better.
