Merry Christmas
The exodus is on course
Homeward bound, full force
Christmas and New Year cheer
Of the pandemic, we have little fear
The well heeled among us, lead the pack
Who knows what they will take and bring back
Those who can, alone, stay home
Trying to preserve their human microbiome
Shades of post- war nineteen twenty
Soldiers brought Spanish influenza aplenty
Hit us hard, many died - we had no masks
Our Doctors and nurses this time, not at their tasks
Like then, we rush to send wishes true
To the political and CoVid millionaire crew
Next year, if we are here to tell the tale
Their fortunes will move further from the pale
