It’s gone! It’s gone!
Christmas Day is gone,
With that there’s a new focus
As the New Year dawns.
Old Year’s night is nigh
And the Bajan spirit is high
But there are still protocols
And so, we must comply.
COVID is under control,
It at least appears that way
And as we celebrate, I pray,
From this we do not sway.
But besides COVID-19
Something else is in the air,
It’s election time in Barbados
The PM has made this clear.
January 19 is the date
With Nomination Day the 3rd,
By now every single Barbadian
Should have already heard.
Many have been caught
With pants below the waste,
Some will view this suddenness
With nothing but distaste.
The reality is, However,
Barbadians must decide
Whether to retain the Government
Or on a new rely.
Whatever the people decide
The PM will give her support,
This is in essence what she said
According to a news report.
So, it’s gone! It’s gone!
Christmas Day is gone,
And before its after-effects settles
An election day will dawn.
Do enjoy Old Year’s night
And do so with common sense,
At church or otherwise
Do not be an offense!
Maintain the protocols
Do not let your guard slip,
So that contrary to popular opinion
COVID will soon be licked.
Christmas Day is gone
And New Year’s Day is near
But on the horizon of Barbados
Election Day appears.
