A Substantial Meal

In England we have a 'tier' level for covid,
localised restrictions to deal with the pandemic,
tier 2 means that you must have a 'substantial meal,'
with alcohol in the pubs to give you a good feel.

Now, that interpretation gives rise to questions -
does a scotch egg give enough to stop infections,
or maybe some pork scratchings stops you being tipsy,
to remember social distancing could be the key.

If I'm challenged I'll say: 'Would you like to see my nuts?'
I must be okay now surely, no ifs or any buts,
I'll rub my hands together when all the chips are down,
Thai crisps may make the environmental health man frown.

Roll on when I no longer need a roll, not enough,
these restrictions are making me so rough and tough.
