Jingle Bells are silent

For those wondering how far we had actually got in our planning and preparation for 2 years away sailing…

More like: In the Bleak Mid-Winter -19,

In the bleak mid-winter
COVID made us moan,
Earth stood devoid of travel,
Planes like a stone;
Germs had fallen, germs on germs,
Germs on Germs,
In the bleak mid-winter
(Not so) long ago.

The germs, Earth cannot stop them
Nor our World contain,
Kings & Queens shall flee away
When COVID comes to reign:
In the bleak mid-winter
A hospital place was rare,
In the bleak mid-winter
Not so long ago.

Enough for COVID, who other bugs
Worship night and day,
A nasty cough and sneeze
sends the bugs away.
Enough for COVID, who other bugs
Adoration yearn,
The flu, the cold and SARs
Can only watch and learn.

Professors and the learned
May have gathered here
What have they achieved
Except to spread some fear.
But only some were able
To brighten up this war
All hail the total hero
Captain Colonel Tom Moore

What are we to do about it
Simple on these lands?
If I were a clever man
I would wash my hands.
If I were a kind man,
I would help some others
But what I can I will do
Wear my face covers.
