    Our Latest Darkest Hour.

    In this present worldwide anxious time that we are living in, it is nice to see that someone has a sense of humour by adjusting Winston Churchill's immortal words to make a useful point. As seen written in large print on the wall of a public convenience in Fort William.

    TAE A VIRUS
    Twa months ago, we didna ken,
    yer name or ocht aboot ye
    But lots of things have changed since then,
    I really must salute ye
    Yer spreading rate is quite intense,
    yer feeding like a gannet
    Disruption caused, is so immense,
    ye’ve shaken oor wee planet.


    Corona used tae be a beer,
    they garnished it wae limes
    But noo it’s filled us awe wae fear
    These days are scary times.
    Nae shakin hawns, or peckin lips,
    it’s whit they awe advise
    But scrub them weel, richt tae the tips,
    that’s how we’ll awe survive


    Just stay inside , the hoose, ye bide
    Nae sneakin oot for strolls
    Just check the lavvy every hoor
    And stock-take your loo rolls


    Our holidays have been pit aff
    Noo that’s the Jet2 patter
    Pit oan yer thermals, have a laugh
    And paddle ‘ doon the waater ‘


    Canary isles, no for a while
    Nae need for suntan cream
    And awe because o this wee bug
    We ken tae be..19


    The boredom surely will set in,
    But have a read, or doodle
    Or plan yer menu for the month
    Wi 95 pot noodles.


    When these run oot, just look aboot
    A change, it would be nice
    We’ve beans and pasta by the ton
    and twenty stane o rice.


    Ye might be gallus noo ma freen
    As ye jump fae cup tae cup
    But when we get oor vaccine made
    Yer number will be up
    "We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give"
    Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill
