Curse That Virus
The flowers don't know there's a virus,
they sit there and smile at the sun.
They brighten your day in a positive way.
They'll be here when the whole thing is done.
The birds don't know there's a virus,
they sing for all they are worth.
They have no idea of the panic and fear
that's creeping all over the earth.
The rain doesn't know there's a virus,
it falls on us every day.
It pays no regard to a life that is hard
and a worry in every way..
The hedgehogs don't know there's a virus,
and wonder why traffic is light.
It eases their load when they're crossing the road
and now they feel safer at night.
The cows don't know there's a virus,
Still need to be milked every day.
It seems such a shame and they're not to blame,
but the farmer just throws it away.
The dog doesn't know there's a virus,
he still wants to go for his walk.
We stand 20 feet from the people we meet.
We wave where once we would talk.
It's the people who know there's a virus,
they should do, they started it off.
It plagues them all day and they're starting to pay,
whilst hoping they don't start to cough.
So please don't forget there's a virus,
it certainly won't forget you.
So please take care, and please be aware
of the damage the damned thing can do.
