Silly Sunday ditty

Cynthia from Foxton

In the town of Wuhan some germs from an animal
Made a big leap and infected a few
Nobody thought it would be a pandemic
And now the whole world’s in a hullabaloo

It didn’t take long for the germs to go global
In planes and trains and cruises by sea
Now locked in our homes and trying to stay sober
We can’t even watch the live sports on TV

Six long months in isolation. Six long months doing nothing at all
Six long months in isolation, this feckin lockdown is driving me up the wall
I tried to go out, got sent back in again, I went out again, straight back in again
Sick to death of this social distancing, finish the lockdown for once and for all

The experts say keep two metres distance
And never together in couples and groups
And eating at home is a fecking disaster,
Getting fat as a fool eating pastas and soups

Now in the UK the virus was active and got the prime minister in number 10
I hope Boris Johnson recovers completely, so we can call him a dickhead again.

Now Trump took it lightly; “ there’s no need to panic
We’re under control, tis only a flu”
So, he finally did what he promised the voters
America is First in the infections too

3 long years of Trump as president, 3 long years there was nothing at all
Talking shite and blaming China
When Mexico begs him to finish the wall

The end is in sight and the curve it is flattening
Lifting the Lockdown is yet to be seen
Washing your hands and staying at home
Is the only solution for Covid Nineteen

Six long months in isolation
The planet has never looked greener before
But back to the grind to pay off the mortgage
The world just won’t be the same anymore

unknown author but off the internet as a song

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!

💬 Our question to you: Do we sometimes overlook plants when investing in conservation?
Have you spotted this weed in your area, or noticed other local efforts to protect our native flora?
