Army Game













Jersey's s Second Wave today: Overwhelming numbers of contacts, cases rising exponentially, "action" taken  just with "strongly advise", which is ignored by some until it is too late, and decisions made far, far, too late. We are lurching towards lockdown, and here's my take on it.

Army Game

“Don’t Panic, Captain” was the cry
As numbers rose rapidly, day by day
It really makes me want to cry
“You stupid boy”, I want to say

It was so well back in summer time
But the platoon was growing slack
And now we hear the midnight chime
And our enemy is once more back

This, you see, is our own Army game
“Would you mind terribly”, firm advice
And there’s no one to take the blame
Just saying “I’m sorry” would be nice

Sing “Who do you think you are kidding”
As the world grows dark and forbidding.
