Offlymuch I went, I did,

To fetch my Fenbid-40 & MacroBid,

And a tube of Fenbid,

Although it cost me my health and a few quid!

The road was blocked by traffic parked on the pavement,

But I didn’t relent,

A passing car missed me,

To the floor, I nearly went!

Down Winchester Street,

It was a brave feat,

The brakes don’t work…

I carried on, my mission to complete!

More trouble on Hood Street,

Blocked pavement again,

But I an not to be beat!

Went on the road again, such a pain!

Got on Mansfield Road near Rhodes,

But where were the folks?

No muggers, bikers or Schaghticokes,

I think I’ll buy some Artichokes!

I stopped to look down Hadyn Road for a while,

Little traffic, few people that made me smile,

I moved on after a while,

Realised I’d forgot to take my mobile!

Started up the hills,

To fetch my pills,

To cure my ills,

Up ahead, the cottages and vills!

Aha, a Pavement Cyclist was seen!

He scowled at me, he didn’t seem too keen,

On my putting him in my camera screen,

His face looked a little adamantean!

Over down the hill to Carrington,

A place of muggings, violent action,

Blimey, my poetry is terribly bad…

What’s your reaction?

Got near the Chemist shop, a little late,

The retailer shops looking in a bad state,

I wonder, what is their fate,

Bankruptcy, for you mate!

I entered the Chemist shop straight away,

No welcoming smile, did they display,

I wished I was far away,

I tried to look happy, appear to be gay,

My emotions were in disarray,

Got the tablets, and I was away!

I called at Lidle, to get some food, spend my brass,

Noticed, the yobboes had smashed the window glass,

Coronavirus, made the yobboes mad and crass?

Did someone think the glass, a canvas?

Was it done by some drunken dumbass?

Done by a gang of anti-maskers, out to kickass?

Good job the window was made of plexiglass!

I must apologise for the patheticness of this rhyme,

But writing it, I was unwell at the time,

Anne Gyna, stopped me feeling sublime,

My future as a poet is not worth a dime,

But I’ll try to get it better next time!
