March 30th, 2020Local Lines: Who cares
Bill Wootton, who lives in Hepburn Springs and has gone to ground.
Who cares
whether you keep washing your hands
keep corpse length distance from your fellows
whether you stay at home
Covid does
Covid cares
It’s ready
and will travel
It’s the holiday
you don’t want to have
All summer you’ve been primed
to be proactive
when things look crook
Bushfire weather coming
Go early
Get out
Now it’s all
Stay home
Lap it up
