Said the sea gull to
the rat
wistfully looking
round
are there any scraps
of food
in the whole town to
be found
alas said rat its
lock-down
that's what the
papers say
those humans can not
go out
to throw their food
away
there is no tasty
fish and chips
no burgers in a bun
no sausage rolls
from Greggs
to thrive and feast
upon
the throwaway folks
are stuck inside
making do and mend
spending hours on
the phone
to granny and a
friend
they are all doing
baking
cakes from
yesteryear
cakes baked for
austerity
tastier than they
appear
you must hold out a
bit longer
do pacing more
discreet
soon pubs and bars
will be open
supplying vomit for
the street
