Amanullah Khan Poet Villanelle

Covid-19

Covid-19 
Villanelle

In this season of Covid chat
We have no room for silly talk
Just don’t try to be swanky, Brat

You can’t pull the cure from a hat
Public has no time for the crock
In this season of Covid chat

When you stay home you can adapt
Love the peace and listen to Bach
Just don’t try to be swanky, Brat

No social calls, no this or that
you may like a leisurely walk
In this season of Covid chat

Be patient and no tit for tat
Even in jest you do not mock
Just don’t try to be swanky, Brat

It may be lethal what you spat
What you exhale let the mask block
In this season of Covid chat
Just don’t try to be swanky brat
