Oh it's a bit of a pickle with life at the mo
with everyone wondering whether to go to and fro
Some kids back to school and adults back to their jobs
I feel some high fives but also some sobs

Mr T has been doing college work from home 
He's coped very well and without a moan
He still has to continue as we take the next phase
of relaxing the lockdown and finding our ways

I know Mr T is twenty and not a studying academic
but life skills to him are as important in this pandemic
So to support him I feel I must continue to do
but I want to re launch work stuff and start anew

I'm sure it will be fine and I'll find my way through
I just hope other people will understand too
I'll just take it at a steady pace
and come to terms that this isn't a race

It's just organising a new way to do it again
It's always a juggle when it comes to S.E.N
I'm probably worrying for nothing so stop listening to me
everyone has their stuff so let's get on, take deep breaths 
ONE, TWO, THREE

I saw a spray of water cascading over the fence
I must admit it made me feel a bit tense
I knew it wasn't rain as it was a hot sunny day
When I looked Mr T was trying to wash the car with a fence in the way

Mr T you need to ask if you want to wash the car
not try and complete the mission from afar
I knew I should have tackled this as lots of comments had been made
and when Mr T has a task in his head it usually won't fade

So out came the buckets and we did open the gate
at last no longer did he have to wait
He worked hard and seemed satisfied when done
tick that job off, the task has been won

​ 

Mr T has had a new Thomas and Friends dvd
which he seems really excited to see
Actually we both watched it on Channel Five 
but this dvd it keeps his collection alive

Ninety five he has of Thomas and Friends now 
that's an amazing amount, wow!
He brings the boxes in which they are stored downstairs for me to see
'Behold' he will say 'look what I have with me'

It's as if it's the very first time they have been on display
but this, oh this happens every other day
I don't mind though as I could watch his proud presentation alot
I love seeing his face and everything he has got 

We don't quite go through the whole ninety five
I think that would send us into overdrive
he picks a few favourites and the info he likes reciting
about the cast, directors and stories that are exciting

He has loved Thomas and Friends since he was small
some say at aged twenty it's time to withdraw
Why though if he loves it and the engine himself is now seventy five
Nah I'll settle for viewing his collection as long as I'm alive

Our Mr T is enjoying college from home
It makes him feel he isn't alone
he can video call his tutors and friends online
checking that everyone is absolutely fine

He has had work sent home for him. to do
it is a bit different and even his teacher is new
Yep mum is here to help with a task 
until any maths crops up then she has to ask

There is a routine and it works ok
we have had to adapt and work a new way
A good balance seems to be the key
and if it's all too much we'll leave the work be

Lockdown and autism can be a bit tricky
but all this is to prevent us getting sicky
For some the isolation is nothing new
it's the way things should be for that selected few

So we will carry on working, getting creative and baking
watching enough Fireman Sam and Engie Benjy for the taking
Knowing one day we will be able to acknowledge
The chance to get back to the real college
