What Would You Do

I heard the sneeze I felt a wet breeze Tell me now what should I do Was it C-19 driven? Should I be forgiven With the traditional “God bless you”? Or should I have a seizure And scream at the sneezer Then pour on the hand sanitizer Make a big scene Or self quarantine I need a health care advisor So I Googled and Facebook They’re experts I’m told From cooking to cleaning From cancers to colds Now I have enough Charmin To last me four weeks The bears say it’s strong And yet soft on my cheeks I’ve got bottled water With plenty of spares Now all I need is Somebody who cares I’m showing no symptoms No sneezing or caughin’ My nose runs a bit But not really that often Yet my friends are afraid I might breath on them Or they just might touch something Where my fingers have been So here I sit And no one comes near And that’s how it will be Till I get the “all clear”
