Saturday night

good old Boris said go out
hairdressers shops and the pub
sit at a table drink what you like
as long as your having some grub

so Cholnodeley Peregrine Hesketh
Marmaduke St John and Beau
met at a pub for booze and grub
with others some of us know

they sat us in secluded bubbles
about a metre apart
we asked for the menu and wine list

one needs an aperitif to start

we thought we'd have champers to start with
not having so much as of late
don't bother with finding a bottle
may as well just leave the crate

Two hours and just a minute
the staff a right huffy lot
said they believe tis time we should leave
as we exceeded the allotted time slot

what happened next I'm not sure of
cause or reason why
it all took off with biff baff and boff
and I got hit in the eye

the A & E staff were tremendous
though the consultant in bit of a tiz
with all the covid infection
we're rushed off our feet as it is

the markets are down as expected
the economy much in the red
I've a cough and a temperature
and Nanny has sent me to bed
