Plaguing You

Pandemonium seeps and creeps like a thief in the night Seeking to consume everything in sight fear shown leads to their delight madness, hopelessness & confusion weaves a web of delusion man, I think I need a whole body transfusion I mean don’t panic this is nothing new Just run out and stock up on food & toiletries too then take a deep breath it will be over soon old man Trump got everything under control just keep your hands in your pockets don’t touch the rails or polls and whatever you do don’t eat what’s in the bowl don’t approach anyone that appears to be choking I’m not joking it matters not if they seem to be croaking mask, gloves, protective gear COVID-19 a convenient way to make us fear by putting these viruses in the atmosphere stay clear of those who look ill don’t take that $48 round trip flight to Brazil even though it’s a steal no hugs, no kiss, no affection don’t want to increase my chances for infection these guidelines are for yours and my protection don’t inhale or exhale too hard don’t lounge around in your own backyard but please oh please don’t stop using your bank card and as you drive around looking for what’s left on the shelves to be found let’s try not to have a nervous breakdown.
