Coughing Here Coughing There

Coughing here. Coughing there. 
Constant coughing everywhere.
Put your mask on. Do it quick!
Corona Virus is so thick.


We’re Americans. Don’t tell us what to do!
You can’t make us afraid of the coronary flu.
We will congregate more than ever now.
Taking orders to us is smelly and fowl!


Coughing here. Coughing there.
Coughing in my underwear.
Stay in your house, go on. HIDE!
For three weeks, it’ll be a wild ride.

We’re Americans. Don’t tell us what to do!
You can’t make us afraid of the coronary flu.
We will eat out more than ever now.
Taking orders to us is smelly and fowl!

Coughing here. Coughing there.
Coughing in sync if we dare.
Coughing in some states more than others.
Coughing with our sisters and brothers.
