Stanley Watson, friend of the Care Words Project has put pen to paper again to create his latest poem. He has been sharing his poetry with us over the past 10 months and we hope you like his latest offering.
Pantomimes were cancelled due to the pandemic and we all missed out “booing the baddies” and “giggling at the dames”. We hope you like Stanley’s take on it this year.
Covid – The Pantomime Villain
Covid the pantomime villain,
Loves to hear you boo,
With every boo and hiss,
He’s winning over you.
He’s spoilt the panto season,
But we won’t let him win,
We’ll keep the panto going,
Through thick and thin.
“O yes we will”
Cinderella has lost her shoe,
Will she make the ball on time,
Buttons has the answer,
He’s ordered a pair from Amazon Prime.
“O yes he has”
The ugly sisters take the chance,
to have a beauty pack,
But the girls in the salon,
So all their mirrors crack.
“O yes they do”
The Fairy Godmother waves her wand,
Each wave is a disaster,
Tries her very best,
To make happy ever-after.
“O yes she does”
Aladdin and the Genie,
Just couldn’t work their magic,
So they’ve both been put on furlough,
It really is quite tragic
“O yes it is”
Dick Whittington and his cat Dominic,
Have hopped it out of London,
He says it’s just to test his eyes,
And not to dodge to lockdown.
“O no it’s not”
The vaccine now is here,
No-one better miss this,
It’s Mother Goose’s golden egg,
At present for all at Christmas.
“O yes it is”
Prince Pfizer now has entered stage,
With other vaccines pending,
To eradicate the panto villain,
And give us all a happy ending.
“O yes he has”
Stanley Watson – Jan 2021
