Reason A. Poteet Poet Tristich

Mysteria's Hysteria

Little known virus billed with hype
is much like the elusive snipe 
look for clues and bilk mysteria.

COVID-19 is a blight
take your temperature, dispel fright
combat the urge of hysteria.

Cancellations? don't groan and gripe
take wise advice to wash and wipe
learn CDC’s criteria.

Counter laziness, use your might
raise your normal household fight
reduce viruses, bacteria.

Social distancing is an archetype
of honest help instead of tripe
Heed experts in your area.

Apply intentional foresight,
Observe limits with sweetness and light
Thank God this is NOT malaria.
