Not For Me At 83
I'm 83
and it's coming for me
or so I've been told
stay in place
don't show your face
be where I don't want to be
all alone in my home
fresh air will set me free
I'll wash my hands
and take much care
but I refuse to stay shut in
when you see me out
just lookout
don't cough, sneeze
or touch me
they'll find a cure
of that I'm sure
a shot will keep it at bay
at 83 I've got lots to see
coronavirus
...not for me
