Only a cock stood on the rooftree

it isn’t possible
to ignore
not really
the king
of the world
(tennis)
versus
the chameleon
of australia-r
it was always
going to end
in a courtroom
rather
than
on a tennis court
and I wonder
what
do I think
about it
and I wonder
and
I wonder
I conclude
that neither
of these two
strutters
is –
individually –
worth
the thought
both selfish
both
willing to blame
somebody else
at a heartbeat’s notice
both vain
and over-glorified
in their own
eyes
meanwhile
where I live
we have had
our seven lockdowns
(official)
our unofficial
avoid others
(eternal and ongoing)
we are jabbed
and jabbing
but . . .
our doctor surgery
won’t do after-hours
any more
our pharmacy
is booked out
for jabs
until the end
of next month
the virus
is here
brought
by visitors
and
brought by transport
workers
bringing food
(and toilet paper
of course)
into the town
it is in
the nursing home
and being avoided
on the popular streets
where visitors gather
by a detour
into the granite gutter
to avoid
getting close
if you know
what I mean
there is almost
a relief
when the battle
of the two
big noises
of the moment
distracts
from what daily life
is becoming
if we pick
a side
to support
that
will make us all
feel better
I read
that the main
nation-wide
take-away chicken
chain
is running out
of chickens
because the transport system
is failing
because half the workers
are sick
or furloughed
well . . .
well
I know
where they can get their hands
on two roosters
between them
they would
probably
amount to one
special zinger

No, I think they’d call in seconds to take their place, don’t you? After all, if you can get someone to sign an official declaration for you, then you must have a few seconds around to become sacrificial chooks (and the polly is the second, ‘cos there’s a crowing rooster standing at his back, pushing).

They’re very slippery in their own interests, I think, Cage.

Power on Frank! That guy has been getting TV oxygen even here in Canada, for days. Good! The guy not only doesn’t get jabbed, but has the audacity to get close up with people without a bloody mask on. We are truly living in dystopia. 😦

I think it gets resolved in the next couple of hours, Debby. Brace yourself for a fresh round of it in the news.

Cheers, TRacy. There is a lot of ridiculous around, at the moment. Glad you enjoyed.

Well Frank the debacle won’t be over for a while, and the egos will continue to shine One of the lovely things about you is you are jolly clever with your words, and your humility speaks volumes. Therefore your work is the tonic I and a great number of your readers need. No blushing please
