When This Is All Over


When this is all over, there’ll be singing in the church
And each from one another, we will no longer need to lurch
There’ll be dining in the restaurants and laughter in the pubs
And we’ll no longer feel the need each week to clap for those in scrubs


When this is all over, there’ll be a smile upon my face
And folk may begin once more to act with a little more grace
No mask required on bus or train, no fearful looks from strangers
There’ll be no need to stress or strain, afraid of hidden dangers


When this is all over, I’ll dine out every night
And relish every moment, each and every bite
The wine will flow, the laughter doubtless ring
And if I have enough to drink, I may even start to sing !


When this is all over, I think I’ll dance for joy
For the solace the lockdown has long since begun to cloy
When this is all over.
When.
This.
Is all over.
.


– Basil Valentine
