Covid Rules Explained
Covid rules explained
About the covid 19, in case things don’t seem clear
This is what we need to do, so we don’t live in fear
We can mix with different households, as long as we’re not seven
Unless of course we’ve gone to work and bubbled with eleven
So if you have five children, then I’m sorry but you’re stuffed
No one can come in your house, and you can’t go out, it’s tough
If you are all together you can’t go for a meal
So just forget that eat out scheme, you’re too many for that deal
You could maybe have two tables, but you’re not allowed to stray
If you stay where they have seated you the virus goes away
You can’t mix with the people who’s household you are in
But the waiter can bring you a drink, he’s lifted by the rim
Then there’s local lockdowns, don’t even meet in groups of six
If you’re from different households you simply cannot mix
Not even in a garden, the virus will get you there
But if you go out for a walk it simply doesn’t care
If you’re in the pub after ten the virus will descend
But all hop on the underground and it will not offend
Before ten you will be ok, but please don’t sing or dance
Coz if you have too much fun, you just don’t stand a chance
A hairdresser can cut your hair and even trim your beard
But if you want to see a doctor, face to face is feared
You must explain on the phone what symptoms you can see
You may as well just google, ask Alexa or Siri
If you want a big Christmas feast, you have to kill the cat
Coz theres thirty at a funeral and it will stay away from that
You can’t go to a theatre, but you can sit on a plane
As long as when you come back you don’t go out again
You could take a different route, the virus then out smarted
No need for isolation, as you detoured it departed
And when you get your hair done don’t ask for a tea
As the virus lives in their mugs, but the coffee shops are Covid free
If you are in any doubt what rules apply to you
Just follow all the MP’s, they’ll show you what to do.
