Working Through

Six Of Mc’Donalds Drive Through Outlets Reopened Country Wide
The Traffic Queues Were Round The Bend, For A Thirty Euro Max Spend
Some Even Resorted To Using Horse Power To Get There In The End
The Horse Patiently Waited While They Ate Their Big Macs
Then Trotted Back To Join The Traffic , To Find His Way Back
Necessity Is The Mother Of Invention, Its Said
Many Another Is Working, Scratching Their Heads
For Ways To Help Control This Terrible Dread
Machines Are Being Invented, Amended, Adjusted , Upgraded
To Suit The Needs Of Many
As Our Serious Ill Still Lie In Hospital Beds
Their Fight For Life Goes On
This Is A Time Of Great Change Happening
Some Have Found That they Are Happier Working From Home
Communications Through Zoom, Online Or On The Phone
No Long Commutes, Quality Not Quantity Time Spent With Family And Friends
For Them That’s What Has Come To Matter In the End
Others Don’t Have That Choice, They Are Customer Face To Face Led
They Will Be Encased Behind Glass Or Wearing A Mask
While Working On The Frontline
There Is A Golden Opportunity For Those Who Take The Time
The Thinkers, The Doers, The Creators, The Innaviters, The Push Throughers
Are All Needed To Answer Ireland’s Economic Unease
To Find Ways To Produce And Source The Goods We Need
And Not Have To Rely And Buy Them From The Country That Originally Spread This Disease
