CELIA'S POEMS

No 374          March 23

I just did not realise,

2020 was a leap year,

How did I come to miss this,

I’m losing it I fear.

Well if we could have leapt a year,

It would have helped us all,

Instead of leaving us with this mess,

The worst we can recall.

In fact it even does get worse,

It’s horrific in every way,

It had to be a leap year,

It brought an extra day.

So as we leap into Spring,

We can leap for joy,

Knowing if it was a leap year,

It really could annoy

So if you did propose last year,

As leap year says you can,

It may be lonely in the church,

‘cause on your friends they put a ban.

Wouldn’t it have been wonderful,

If those memories we have kept,

Could have missed out 2020,

And into 2021 we leapt.
