Analysis of Lifestyle Changes



Christmas was celebration time

Only then did the family cock lose life

Celebration was the rhyme

Traditional beer shared with no strife

I look back with no shame

Things do change in prime

Now life sweetness is no more

We cannot share same pot.

Breathing air is restricted too

They is a mask covering face

To meet others we do cow

Life is lived in disgrace

Washing hands is too much too

Yet we do it like in a race

Now life sweetness is no more

We cannot share same pot.

It started with aids

Then came this Corona

We cannot fight all odds

This is not Carolina

We have put on pads

As we avoid this collonel

Now life sweetness is no more

We cannot share same pot.
