ONCE UPON A TIME

Once upon a time I could walk into a shop
Someone somewhere decided this must stop
For if I visit the shop a mask I must wearĀ 
Keeping a metre apart once I arrive in there

Once upon a time I could walk into a pub
Order a pint of beer and maybe some grub
That like the shop visit a thing of the past
Now my name and address is duly askedĀ 

Once upon a time I could walk into my mum's house
Be as noisy as I wanted or as quiet as a mouseĀ 
I have now to make sure I'm in her social bubbleĀ 
For if I'm not I will be fined and will be in troubleĀ 

Once upon a time what we all took for grantedĀ 
New guidelines laid down are now implanted
