Do we laugh or cry
Its a question people around me ask
The answer is always laugh
We laugh at the things no one else would
The dark humour is needed
When ‘our’ world is down to should
Should do the best
Doing our best
Feeling the same as a the rest
Of front line
But not in the same way as them, now us, or even everyone else (now us)
In the world of Facebook, WhatsApp and news – is there any point in watching it?
When we just keep moving
We just keep solving problems
We keep trying to get ahead
We don’t get ahead
But we never lose our head
Unless its in laughter
At the sheer inability to solve any pandemic disaster
Our comfort zone is in other adversity
So solving this problem is not the answer
Just moving forward will do
With a few (lots of) fucks, shits and “can do”
Can do anything
Thats the best thing
Being in my ‘world’ we literally can
As long as it involves inappropriate jokes
Chocolate and laughing
So fuck you COVID-19
Despite social distancing
Social Isolation
We are still laughing
Even when we shouldn’t
