Alas! He has been ill for several weeks

with fitful sleep disturbed by many coughs;

his fingernails from coughing scratched his cheeks

no peerage granted him, unlike those toffs.

Perhaps he picked up Covid once again

delivering their presents to the kids

for all his life, his lungs have been his bane

carbon monoxide poisoned them, it dids.

To Boots go I, to purchase covid test

Nine pounds for five on this, the final day

and as the year closes, take our best

For 'twenty-five; blwyddyn newydd dda, we say.

    I could not find the tests I bought before

    until the newest box I went to store.
