STAY AT HOME FOR AUSTRALIA!

fix things!

create!

have a long ponder

be home and show you care

watch the rain fall

sometimes be sunlit

encourage the garden to grow

build bridges

mend fences

house proud?

here’s your chance – get cleaning

you needn’t be nationalistic about it

but have some fellow feeling

please stay home for Australia

you can’t fight hypochondria with paranoia

but maybe the other way around?

… while you’re considering that

perhaps a lovely cup of tea, a chat?

so many ways to be at home

talk to the others

now equally far

and safe in their homes

(a great comfort, surely?)

read a novel

fall into a poem

or picture

have a song and dance

do it for the whole wide world

for creatures everywhere

feel your carbon footprint shrinking

it’s happening just while you’re thinking

put on your favourite music

sit in your easiest chair

then sleep comes back to me

in a dream

I know we’re safer there

be well

stay safe

stay home

take care
