Covid Level 4 Poem
Covid Level 4 - Poem by Adrian Mee
In Covid Level 4 lock down
We’re told we’re not to roam
So stop that galivanting around
And stay the heck at home
We’re trying to stop a virus
Nasty to its core
So just turn on the telly
And shut the flaming door
If the day is sunny
Feel free to have a stroll
Take someone from your bubble
As you do your dawn patrol
You can even greet a stranger
If you stay eight feet apart
If they encroach upon your 2 metres
Just drop a silent fart
Unless you’re an essential worker
Healthcare, supermarket, or truck driver
Then stay inside, safe and warm
Ensure you are a survivor
Have a walk, a run, a bike
Take your flaming pick
If you stray outside your bubble
You’ll confirm that you are thick
You should stay close to home
Don’t head into the hills
For, hunting, fishing, tramping
Aren’t the way to get your thrills
Don’t put other’s lives at risk
By heading out on the water
Stay on land, close to home
You know you really oughta
You can head to the supermarket
But please just be smart
No mountainous piles of bog roll
Spilling from your cart
If we all observe the rules
We’ll support our healthcare workers
So stay at home and do your bit
We’ve got no time for shirkers
Travellers back from overseas
Are questioned at the border
Off they go to MIQ
Quarantine is now the order
Australia, UK and USA
Are struggling in their fight
Now is the time to think of others
And get this battle right
Leaders of other countries
Trump, Johnson and ScoMo
Had struggled with decisions
Clearly reacted far too slow
Ashley Bloomfield and Jacinda
Have been our leaders in this fight
The underlying message
Just do this, we’ll be alright
So please do this for each other
Don’t break the lock down rules
We’re all in this together
We’ve got no time for fools

Paddy Gower seeks ‘bloody great Cantab’
The Kiwi journalist drilling deep into the country’s biggest issues is on a mission to find the local greats.
Paddy Gower is looking for the Good Kiwi in every region to feature in his show, The F@#$ing News - Paddy Gower Live on Tour.
To nominate a Good Kiwi, email reporters@press.co.nz with the name and a description of why your nominee should win. You an also share the local issues you think Paddy needs to tackle in the comments below.
It could be the woman whose knitting circle has made 3800 items for victims of domestic violence, the guy running the length of Aotearoa for mental health, or the woman with terminal cancer who spends her time campaigning to raise awareness and save lives.
“Basically I am looking for ... a bloody great Cantab who just gets on and gets things done. The criteria is somebody who has a positive attitude and makes the community a better place," Gower said.
“I will give this person the 'Big Ups' they deserve, and the community can celebrate them with me.”
A Good Kiwi will feature in each of Gower’s live shows in 14 centres through November and December. He will name the Cantabrian Good Kiwi at his Christchurch show on the evening of Friday, November 22, at St Margaret’s College.
The F@#$ing News - Paddy Gower Live on Tour is a sort of book tour, sort of stand-up comedy, some journalistic yarns and memoir, and some motivational speaking - with a fair bit of local in each show.
Gower also wants to know about topics of interest in the region.
“I’m ... going to be taking on a big issue facing Canterbury and offering up solutions.”
A stinky suburb, a neighbourhood needing a round-about or a cathedral in disrepair - “I will make your views count”, he said.
“I'm touring the nation to spread positivity, optimism and good vibes.”
