I think that COVID’s got me down.
I’ve felt no need to comb my hair.
I haven’t worried what to wear
or taken off my dressing-gown,
for days. I haven’t been to town.
Instead of chasing here and there,
I’ve idled in an easy-chair
or underneath my eiderdown.
For weeks I’ve needed no alarm
or needed to get out of bed
for anything except a cup
of tea. On balance, causing harm
is overstating it, instead
it simply hasn’t woke me up.
