Covid Queues



Handwriting 'queues'
you can easily lose it
and end up with 'queens'
or too many es and us.

Suddenly queues
have lost density,
but have not
become more easily jumped.

Obelix asked
a simple question,
that can be applied
to 'queues Covids':

'Why do you English
turn everything around? '
'We always thought
that's what you did.'
