We received the following poeam, from YourLifeChoices member Sandra, which she wanted to share with her fellow members.

FREEDOM DAY

At last - “Freedom Day” has been declared 
Our solitary life can now be shared 
But wait, that’s not really true – 
Not to be shared with many – just a few! 

Three months since I had my second dose, 
Eleven weeks of restrictions, staying really close 
We’ve obeyed the rules and done the right thing 
Anticipating the “life” that “freedom” would bring 

So much had been hyped about “Freedom Day” 
But really what’s offered is five weeks away! 
We can go out, eat and drink – that’s cool 
And yet still our children can’t go to school. 

Some businesses won’t open, can’t make a go 
Under restrictions the numbers are far too low 
While in “The Hills” we top vaccination lists, 
They’re still elusive, these freedoms we’ve missed. 

“Freedom Day” announced, but as suspected – 
It will not deliver all we had expected! 
If you planned a holiday in the “Sunshine State” 
You’d be very unwise to set a date!  

And as for going to Mark McGowan’s west.  
Then perhaps to plan for mid ‘22 would be best. 
From isolated Tasmania, way down south 
Rarely does Premier Gutwein open his mouth.  

Finally, at last, it appears that Premier Dan 
Has decided to follow our Gladys’ plan. 
So, support our own state, we’ve done it tough 
The time has come to say “enough is enough!”  

The “Freedom Day” offers remain rather nebulous 
And we were all hoping for something fabulous! 
Like other “promises” offered, there’s ‘if’ and ‘but’ 
If Covid takes hold, then the door slams shut!

How have you spent your time in lockdown? Have you thought of trying your hand at some poetry?
