There’s discussion right now online, on radio, TV and in the press as to whether or not jabs against Covid-19 should be mandatory.
I think they definitely should be for anyone who has face to face contact with the public.
I have a little passport
I keep it in my bag
It tells the world that I am safe
That I have had my jab.
My granny’s in a care home
But me she cannot see
The carers there don’t want the jab
That doesn’t seem fair to me.
I want to go to the theatre
I’d like to see a play
Until everyone has had their jabs
I’d rather stay away.
I want to go on holiday
Fly off to the sun
Live the life I used to live
Well, doesn’t everyone?
So why not have a passport
that says I’m safe to roam
If safety isn’t guaranteed
I’d rather stay at home!
I have a little passport
I keep it in my bag
It tells the world that I am safe
That I have had my jab.
I hope you get yours soon! Until then, stay safe and keep well.
