Lockdown Blues

Lockdown’s not been kind to me,

It’s made me rather fat.

It’s down to inactivity,

I now look like my cat.

Ollie is a rescued tom

That likes to sleep all day.

He sleeps, he eats, and sometimes shits,

And I clean his litter tray.

Ollie has a brother too,

Oscar is his name.

Although they are both black and white,

They do not look the same.

Ollie’s fat and Oscar’s thin,

And their markings are distinctive.

Oscar’s are symmetrical

But there’s not much that’s descriptive.

I wish Ollie would get out more;

The vet is worried about him.

I’m more worried about my waistline.

Perhaps I'll join a gym.
