Notes About The Poem

"Ring Around the Rosie"  is a nursery rhyme which is actually about the great plague of London dated back to the early 1300's. Well seven centuries later here is my Nursery Rhyme version of our modern day plague (Covid-19). Maybe in a hundred or two years from now children will be singing this one too. 

Bing Bam Boom

Noted covid 
Suddenly exploded 
Bing Bam Boom! 
Around it goes 

Bing Bam Boom! 
Bing Bam Boom!
Covid floated 
Around my room 

Around it goes! 
Around it goes! 
When it stops 
Nobody knows
