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 19 March 2020 Contest: Covid 19 Contest Sponsor: Team Poetry Soup
