#acrostic #lockdown
Magpies are having a field day
as the neighbourhood still sleeps
nipping on and off the rooftiles while
cats on the ground they creep
household activity – minimum
everyone’s taken to bed, for
somebody said there’s a lockdown, so
they’ve decided to rest their heads
even the stadiums are empty – no fans to follow the score
reality needs them return now – so the teams can hear them roar
