Let Us Not Be Thwarted? Poem by Mark Heathcote

Let's not quit. The finish line is within reach.
Read the script because change is always afoot.
In a crisis, it's better to have friends than foes.
It's nonsense not to allocate a little hope
into each day and finish what you've started.

In this crisis, all our governments beseech-
we follow the rules, oh if need be, we stay put.
Work from home and a two-household ratio
can now meet but be sure to wash your hands with soap.
We'll beat this enemy, so let us not be thwarted.
