The Great Indoors

The Great Indoors

So here I am in the Great Indoors

Staring across the wide and empty space

Trekking through the lonely Dining Room

Towards the vacant Kitchen place

I’m travelling around my Living Room

I’m having a long soak in the tub

I’m watching Coronavirus Street

Where they still gather in the old pub

Gazing through the grimy windows

Outside at the vast unblinking sky

I’m waving the white flag of surrender

This self-insulation’s gone rather dry

I’m walking round and round the garden

Staying at home and doing my bit

Feeling a sense of social isolation

And quarantine’s feeling a bit shit

When this is all over we’ll have a great party

Hugging and kissing a-plenty

I’m returning this year as defective

Already had enough of Twenty-Twenty!
