Accessional diary of a dyslexic dom.

Any old nonsence that comes into my head.

I did not write this, but it is quite funny.

 

With apologies to Dr. Seuss:

 

I do not like this quarantine

I do not like this quiet scene

It seems so very harsh and mean

To have to keep this quarantine

Can I go out to the park?

Can I go out after dark?

No you can't go to the park

No you can't go after dark

Can I go out to the gym?

Can I work out to get slim?

No you mustn't be so dim

Of course you can't go to the gym!

Nor can you go out to the park

Even if it's after dark

Can't I just go out to eat?

Or to buy an ice cream treat?

No you can't go out to eat

Nor to by an ice cream treat

And you can't go to the gym

Not to bulk up or to slim

No you can't go to the park

Even if it's after dark

Even if it's harsh and mean

You have to stay in quarantine!

I can't! I can't! I'll lose my mind!

No walks or trips of any kind?

No walks or trips of any kind

No great loss if you lose your mind

So even if you kick and scream

You have to stay in quarantine!

Why must I follow this dumb rule

It seems ridiculous and cruel

it seems so very harsh and mean

To be stuck in this quarantine!

We're doing this to stop the spread

So no more people end up dead

This will protect the elderly

By acting extra cautiously

If we all do our part, and fast!

All this will soon be in the past

So please stop making such a scene

And just stick to the quarantine!

Ok I think I get it now

We must save lives and this is how

We can't go out with friends to eat

Or to a picnic or retreat

We cannot go out to the gym

(Who'll even see if we are slim?!)

We cannot go out to the park

Even if it's after dark

We cannot go out here and there

We should not go out anywhere

I'm sorry for the nudge I've been

I'm gonna stay in quarantine!

Jack in the box - Thank you 😊
