Since last year's inception of lockdown, The bug has survived every knockdown. Some people can't cope, So, to inculcate hope, Let's chant: "One more year! Count the clock down!"

I conceived in a dream, while in bed, A machine for invoking the dead. With a lens and a lever, I tuned a receiver To see them and hear what they said.

With a mixture of courage and skill, The skier careered down the hill. Then, modestly grinning, He said "It's not winning That drives me – it's purely the thrill".
