Covid-19

It came upon a Chinese town Where people starting falling down. With symptoms that looked like the flu; They did not know quite what to do. And then it hit, the lasting cost; That people’s lives had now been lost. What happens next, if it should spread; All answers that the world did dread. And so it went, Passed on and on; Through place to place And more lives gone. Pandemic’s hit! More’s on the way! With places closed And at home we must stay. Supplies reduce with panic buys; The virus spreading in disguise. When will it stop? How far will it go? The outcome for us, we don’t know. The worst generational outbreak; Let’s pull together for everyone’s sake. Hands should be cleaned; And sneezes caught quick; And self isolation if you become sick. A cough that continues; Or if fever is found; Please don’t forget to head homeward bound. Look after each other and Those that live near There may be some neighbours who’re living in fear We all have a place and a part we must play; In bringing and end to this crisis today!
