Covid-19 Coping

It seems to happen frequently At least in this millennium All the freedoms we enjoy We now must keep to minimum They say we must can cel our plans And figure out why tissue Has disappeared from grocer's shelves When toilets aren't the issue Was it a snake that put me in This frantic need to sanitize Or could a bat have sneaked one by And caused this world to agonize? I'd hardly think a wayward germ Is gonna take my lungs out But lis'ning to the MSM My saner side will then doubt Following the movie stars In self-imposed restrictions I'll give in to sequestering And snub the contradictions So now I wait to see what the Stock market guys will guess at And what my local diplomates Will emphasize and stress that Contamination headlines streak Across the news like comets I could not close this timely rhyme Ignoring words like vomit.

how funny, vomit on the last line!! Ummm, I think something fishy is going on with the whole thing. They just took down the video Plandemic from Youtube . When they start censoring what people are saying about this whole thing, I really start to wonder!!

Thank you P.S! I think we need to keep this thing in perspective and a lighter take on the subject cannot hurt!
