An Ode to Level 3
--
Today, most of New Zealand drops down from a Level 4 lockdown (most severe) to a Level 3, which is basically Level 4 with takeaways. It’s a tiny step but one that shows we are (fingers crossed) beating down the recent Delta variant outbreak. Chur to all those in Auckland (and above) who are doing the heavy lifting by remaining in Level 4 while we all dash for takeaways.
To celebrate Level 3, I’ve put on my Bad Poet beret and composed this little ditty.
An Ode to Level 3
Don your mask and two metres stay
for contactless treats and takeaways
Lust, and Pride, and Gluttony
Baked in Hell for you and me
Fish and Chips and Jelly Tips
Burgers from the Pickle Jar
Chocolate Fish in Miramar
Souvlakies stuffed full of lamb
the Acropolis is where I stand
Busy hands at Liquorland
Whiskeys, Gins, and Piss in Cans
Don’t drink drive, stay out of trouble
Imbibe your booze back in your bubble
Malaysian, Thai, and Tandoori
Taro, pho, and hot curries
Macca’s tucka and KFC
Patricia’s Pies and Pastries
Level 3 is one small step
to covid kilos on your hips
But have a treat and raise a glass
for Level 3 will not last
If we follow all the rules
I’ll see you lot in Level 2
