Terry Flood Poet Rhyme

Gone Viral

GONE VIRAL (For Corona virus/ Covid 19 contest)


Don’t splutter, don’t wheeze
Don’t cough and don’t sneeze
Or they’ll lock you up
And they’ll mislay the keys

Don’t tell them you’re hot
Just say that you’re not
And don’t touch your face
Or you could be shot

With those swollen glands
You’d best wash your hands
And stay well away
From where your gran stands

In this world of issues
And black market tissues
Hand gel is gold dust
And loo roll is re-used

For shelves are now bare
No toilet roll there 
Somebody said
It’s a media scare

It’s just four weeks on
So many folk gone
The cynics all died
Knowing they got it wrong

In gas masks and visors
The army now spies us
We walk down the street
And a magistrate tries us

But we are survivors
And no law shall tie us
I’m off for a drive
In my Corona virus
