The R number is often spoken about.

Telling how speedy is Covid’s clout.

Another word beginning with R

Is helping people both near and far.

RESILIENCE is aiding us so much,

And that’s why we must all keep in touch,

With friends and family and strangers too,

Perhaps a smile while out walking will cheer a few,

Of folk, sad and living alone,

When no one can visit or enter their home.

We all have some bad days as Covid drags along,

But we must straighten our backs,

And KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON.

Just as our grandparents did in the war,

And soon, Covid-19, we will show you the door!
