Corona - Revised a Lot

There’s a thing called Corona that’s going around, and the yakety-yak of it’s bringing folks down, for it’s not like some circus that’s coming to town! If you turn on your telly, you’ll probably hear lots of news shows predicting this virus is near, and the airports stand empty from everyone’s fear. Just a week ago one of my friends only paid twenty dollars for a standard flight that he made. I say THAT’S taking lemons to make lemonade! I'd say hop on a plane for perhaps a low fee; now however, that's nixed by new rules that I see. Just take walks with your dog or stay in for your safety Perhaps you'll go out. Put a mask on your face! and a handiwipe's great so that you can erase pesky germs that are lurking in every space. While your neighbors are running like crazy to buy extra paper for wiping their precious behinds, go to Amazon. There a bidet you can find! Everything is now closed. If it's not far away, pay a visit to Mom (if allowed). and l say try to think of your lockdown as some fun "stay-cay!" Whatever you do, please stop buying Purell. Leave that stuff for the folks who are truly unwell, and please leave on the shelves toilet paper for sale! Yes, a person could die, but folks die from the flu! Just eat healthy, be cautious; that’s all you can do. It is not the Black Plague that is coming for you! Odds of dying from it - I believe - aren't THAT bad. Many many events are now cancelled; it’s sad. But have faith it will pass, like the Saggy Pants fad!
