Complacency
COMPLACENCY
When it comes to the coronavirus; of course it is never going to be you
As you stand there coughing on the person in front of you in the queue
You never once heeded the advice if feeling sick isolate yourself at home
No; it’s off to the supermarket and just let that coronavirus freely roam
The daft thing here; is that you made seven others in front of you dead
As you got to recover, then are peacefully sleeping within your cosy bed
All Supermarkets should close keeping all the stock for shoppers on-line
A delivery guy; in a protective suit, mask, and gloves, would be just fine
It would keep folk off the streets, &, if based on addresses would be fair
Instead of greedy families, each one, all taking more than their fair share
But; at the moment, all is unfair, others are hoarding stock with no care
Unlike that bloke in the queue, they are so unhappy, on others to share
The husband as in one queue, and, his wife and their children in another
Lord forbid; if they didn’t rope in their, I don’t eat a lot old grandmother
I don’t have a car as so many others and trains and buses on shutdown
Deliveries to your doorstep make's for common sense, van around town
All of this would help; to contain, that, horrible coronavirus deadly game
Besides waiting in on your deliveries, will stop you, from going as insane
