A Love Letter From Covid19

I’m here I’m there I’m everywhere
But I cannot  be seen 
I’m the bailiff when your skint
The traffic warden with pencil in hand
The ex-girlfriend with a new man
That cough, that ache 
I’m the empty shelf in the supermarket
The que in the doctors surgery
I’m even on your news feed 
I’m that  bad smell that will not go away
My friends are fear and selfishness
I’m sure you will meet
I’m a Politicians promises
The good news I’m not staying
Its just a flying visit 
But I might just come back next year 
As covid-20

All my love covid-19

Hello Stephen Pennell, I hope you are staying well. It is also crazy here in Canada. Too many people are sick with this virus. I have a bad head cold. Getting better now. I do not want this virus to come back. Have a nice day my friend.
