CORONAVIRUS UPDATE

CORONAVIRUS UPDATE

By Peter Woodgate

This is your daily update

Within the doors of number ten,

I know that you have seen the graphs

And you're gonna see them again.

They speak of a magnificent job

In protecting the NHS,

They had to, for in the last ten years,

They left it in a mess.

Boris went on holiday

The stable door ajar,

The horses ran at Cheltenham

With spectators in the bar.

And as for vital PPE

They sold lots of it abroad,

Then found out that we needed it

Right across the board.

But never fear because, I hear

They asked Turkey for a lotta,

Alas, it seems that it’s no good

It arrived via Del Boy Trotter.

They say, of course, we’ve done so well

In following the rules,

Except for “His Mate” Dominic

Because all of them he rules.

So, now they move to questions

And may answer you inline,

But no, they don’t, move on, then say,

Sorry we’re out of time.

Before they leave, they tell you this

STAY ALERT, CONTROL THE VIRUS, SAVE LIVES,

And we will promise to keep you informed,

WITH FACTS, WITH FIGURES AND LIES.
