'2020 Vision'
The International Year Of Plant Health, so intended to be
But its place in history will be lost to disease
One and a half million it killed through the year
As it ravaged our planet (*except North Korea)
We lost Bond and Vader, without whom we're poorer
But nobody's heard from Derek Acorah
It cost our economy so many a trillion
But the CEO of Amazon is still worth 200 billion
There were bushfires and floods, an apocalyptic vision
No Olympics, no football, and no Eurovision!
But we still stood divided, however bereaved
We bickered on Brexit, George Floyd couldn't breathe
Bojo fled Europe with unsettling haste
Our British P.M., hands, face, waste of space
Trump couldn't quite say that black lives DO matter
Heaped praise on far right, served up on a platter
Whilst Covid it drove his nation to woe
Trump, he cut funding to the W.H.O.
And they couldn't impeach him, in spite of all ill
And he's far from alone, there's that twat in Brazil
A leadership letdown, that beggars all belief
And a leap year to boot, one day's extra grief
But it's not all bad news, please don't think me a grump
When the bottom line comes, we got rid of Trump
