Covid

Covid

they are, rearing like
horses at the Grand National,
for the all singing and
dancing jab...
it's like a high society ball,
with the roll call,
for the vulnerable..
While I'm a non starter,
I wretch against the halter,
with my blinkers on..
White platelets tell me
to hide behind bushes,
and shadows..and don't
speak about it..
this jab er wocky do dar thingy
ma jig..whatever..it is.
White platelets are clever
little things.
they fight off infections.
and stuff, it's a ' job for life'
and I really don't want to
upset the equilibrium.
I have antibodies . 
although I don't recall
having the illness..
I want to keep my
home made antibodies..
and not introduce
'agency workers' to 
the closed system..
so I will resist..
hang back in the stalls..
and hope I'm missed
