It's a striking thing about life today
How keen we are to be indignant, pontificate.
When something bad happens we can't wait
To get on Facebook or Twitter and join the fray.

We can't rest until we've had our say,
Booming in the Voice of Reason our great
Insights, and slapping down the fools we hate
With logic and hilarious memes. We slay

Them endlessly, but somehow they don't die.
In fact, they have the cheek to claim they've won
And we're the fools! Neither side will admit
That reason's not the issue. I can see why:
If reason can't get the job done
We might need a harsher way to deal with it.

I fancy a day off from doing these So let's keep it brief. Warm sunny day. Builders next door hammering away. Breakfast. Walked into town to Sainsbury's: More gin, rump steak, salad stuff, cheese. A few people on the streets; mostly they Kept their distance. Still, I'd say The lockdown is creaking. Days like these It's hard to resist the pleasures of outdoors. Staying in like me (watching Murder, She Wrote ) Seems the greater crime; the forecast's cold After today, so everyone ignores The wagging fingers. Days when the overcoat Is cast aside, like the vulnerable and the old.

Between various meals I stare At the TV without interest. Let today be done. Sweep it away. Pointless guff. The hour has run. Nothing to say. Enough, enough.
