MCO Comes our way

MCO = Movement Control Order
Will be imposed nation wide.

Sung to the tune of Jingle Bells:

MCO, MCO, MCO comes our way.
It's no fun, we have to hide,
Inside the house today . . .

MCO, MCO, MCO comes our way.
It's no fun, we have to stay,
Inside our homes all day.

Going to the shops
In a one passenger car
Questioned by the cops
At road blocks near and far

Letters we must bring
To show we have the right
To go to work and do our things
And be back at home by night.

MCO, MCO, MCO comes our way.
It's no fun, we have to hide,
Inside the house today . . .

MCO, MCO, MCO comes our way.
It's no fun, we have to stay,
Inside our homes all day.

MCO

I Wish

I wish to visit distant places
to stand on distant lands
To hear people engrossed in chatter
in words I don't understand

I wish to walk across the
border to the country next to mine
To meet up with my grandchildren
and see happy faces shine

I wish to go out for a dinner
with family and loved ones dear
In a busy crowded restaurant
without worry, without fear

I wish to greet my next door neighbour
with Good Morning and a smile
Without hiding behind a mask
Nor keep an arm's length all the while.

I wish.
