CELIA'S POEMS

            No 37   April 23

            Brilliant, Awesome, Wonderful,

            I seem to be all that,

            I’m glad we don’t wear cowboy clothes,

            I’d not get in a hat.

            I’m really not big headed,

            I just said that to tease,

            I’m just happy, for a short while,

            Your burden I can ease.

            I sympathise with those on their own,

            It really must be lonely,

            But rest assured, just look on line,

            There’ll be a message from your’s truly,

            It isn’t very much to ask,

            A message sent by me,

            But with the situation now,

            It’s the best there’s going to be.

            Tonight from our doorsteps,

            As one we will become,

            Just get your pan lids, make some noise,

            For the wonderful Captain Tom,

            He walks around his garden,

            Wears his medals with pride,

            He’s helping out our NHS,

            With every single stride.

            So in honour of this hero,

            His bravery we must reward,

            With recognition in our hospitals,

            With his name upon a ward.
