The 30 days of Lockdown Song: A Mumsnet production

13 replies

JoeBidenIsGreat · 05/11/2020 09:55

you know, like the 12 days of Christmas.

On the first day of Lockdown my true love gave to me... a boxset of DVDs ( ok, ok, this rhyme doesn't work at all, please suggest better )
second...two kettle bells
third... three take-away vouchers
fourth... four free zoom calls
fifth... FIVE SURGICAL MASKS
sixth... six new pyjamas
seventh... A snotty cold but tested negative
eighth... 8 bog rolls
ninth... 9 three-word slogans
tenth... ten walks a day
eleventh... eleven people to choose from for bubbling
twelfth ... 12 temporary covid-19 restrictions signs
... thirthieth

We still need up to #30. All my verses can be improved. And some more pause for breath verses like at five, perhaps at 24th, 18th & 13th.

Go Ladies Go!

I'm not sure what's more entertaining, the glorious crapness of the song or the aggressive grumpiness of the initial replies.Grin

Careful, first two posters, your misery is showing.

On the first day of lockdown my true love gave to me

Nothing. I don’t have a true love.

On the second day of lockdown ...

Nothing. I’m not in a lockdown area.

On the third day of lockdown ...

Nothing. Because I don’t have to lockdown.

Fifth day ....

No surgical masks because I’m exempt

@Kcar

What a complete pile of crap.

You do know that not all of the UK is in a four week lockdown? Or are you so xenophobic that you can’t see past England?

What the fuck? You need help.

midsomermurderess · 05/11/2020 17:05

I'm not miserable. This is just cringeworthy.

Kcar · 05/11/2020 17:45

What the fuck? You need help.

No. I don’t. It’s not even remotely funny or a good idea.

It’s awful.

Yeah, you do.

Your response was completely disproportionate. Probably the most insane response I've ever seen on here.

The OP didn't even mention the UK so where the hell do you get "xenophobia" from?

MountainDweller · 05/11/2020 23:12

Lots of European countries on lockdown to keep England company... just sayin'

Well this didn't go as expected. I found it funny Op. Surely it's just a bit of light-hearted fun, like lockdown bingo in song form. You need to add in super early Xmas decs somewhere as at least four people I know have put their trees up already. Maybe freezing cold schools and offices? Lots of exercise in the rain too.

Definitely include ....wiiiide open windows!!! on a pause line.
