Breaking news.Holiday frustration for a key worker and his wife !

"I am a key worker on holiday in Spain,

Arrived yesterday ,but now feeling  pain.

Paid twelve hundred quid for a two week stay,

My wife and I have to fly back today.

 

A coronavirus spike has produced another scare,

On our return a two week isolation after being there.

A stay at home break for us is a must,

Our holiday in Spain has lost its lust.

 

A new enforcement our government introduced last night,

Put in place to quel another coronavirus  plight.

So for a holiday in Spain my wife and I did pay,

Twelve hundred quid for a one day stay. 

 

In isolation now at home  we must dwell,

After yesterday's midnight deadline,sheer hell !! "

 

◄ A bargain

Ah...to adapt some words from A J Lerner...
The pain in Spain
Is coming home again.

Now Spain I am told that you've gone lost your lust
Oh where, oh where can it be?
Was hoping to come and do frolic with lust
Now lust you have lost, I lost be....
