Outrageous!
by Elizabeth Challinor
I'm pregnant
She said
With covid
(The tests look alike)
But I'm asymptomatic
Nothing dramatic
So I'll stay away
Miss Christmas Day
And isolate with my friend
She's pregnant too
It's outrageous
That it's so contagious
Better steer clear
I won't come near
You don't want more children
Do you?
I'm only joking
Poking fun
I mean come on, mum
What am I supposed to do?
Lose control
Isolate
In fear?
Nah!
Let's celebrate
In creative Christmas cheer
The gift of being alive!
Dedicated with heaps of love to Hannah on her 2021 alternative pandemic Christmas
