CELIA'S POEMS

No 358        March 08

The kids are starting school again,

Is that the start of it,

I bet some mothers won’t be pleased,

Their uniforms don’t fit.

These days I just cannot believe,

When the little ones start school,

They’ve got to be in uniform,

Quite an expensive rule.

I know they all look lovely,

But they shoot up oh so quick,

The uniforms soon get too small,

Their mothers feel quite sick.

I said to my great granddaughter,

Are you in a bubble when at school,

She said of course, you should know that,

It is a Covid rule.

I said how many’s in it,

Is your best friend in with you,

She said, well of course she is,

There’s thirty, not a few.

So the school’s bubble and my bubble,

Are the ones you should be in,

As for Boris’ though it’s done the trick,

But I’m afraid the others win.
