Locked down
Groping anti-clockwise I muse Longer weekends with no Monday blues From my own blabbering on twitter to the birds that tweet In the open blue skies, they chirrup so sweet While planes rest grounded, the fish rule the oceans frayed And ships that anchored at bays, stayed Behold the freshness in the air!
