It's a Pome

Double blessing
Double messing
the twins arrived today
An idea conceived 9 months ago

Better times, no Sexual Distancing Rules
We’d been to the pub (remember them?) (barely)
We’d been for a meal out (remember them?) (barely)
We lay together – barely

I remember "Then" was a different place
And Life was lived at a different pace,
No consent from an Undercovid Police Officer,
I could choose to touch your face
I could take the opportunity
I hadn’t herd you had immunity

Now Norman will crawl to his Grandma's chair
And not know who should be sitting there
Now Norma will dance to her Poppa’s tune
No chance to even meet him soon

Norman and Norma
Welcome to our new World
And hey, you fucking World
I present to you
in Hope and in Desperation
The New Norms

Well done, I enjoyed it.

Ditto.

I really think this pandemic and its anti-social isolation have improved your literary skills.
Keep trying, lad, I'm sure you'll create a good pome one day.
