What are we missing

Back in the days pre Covid, we all would gather round
And over cups of coffee discuss what we had found.
Or in the bar just after work exchange our current views
On weather, personalities and what’s featured on the news.
We had a chance behind our hands to wonder if its true
What Mr X with Mrs Y were rumored wont to do.
Expressing fears that love affairs might just be going on
Not simply sharing training for some future marathon.
But that we are all locked up, at least six feet apart
How can such information we legally impart
Alas the times are changing and sadly it is said
As a victim of the virus gossip is now dead.
