Sally Smith and Covid
Sally Smith and COVID
Sally Smith has lost her once radiant smile.
She won't even eat or traverse outside her door.
She was once cordial and had a joyous personal style,
Sally is so smitten with news about said virus, that I totally abhor.
People die everyday from accidents, and multiple fatal diseases.
But Sally is brainwashed by unfounded media fears they love to spread.
There are days I want to hug the fear out of her with multiple squeezes.
But there Sally is, lying in bed, counting cases,which,do not at all mean, dead.
Negative thinking to me is a choice, ruins your body, hastens an early death.
Sally keeps sanitizing with ferocity,everything she sees, removing her wedding ring,
She doesn't know anymore if she is alive or has any warm breath.
For Sally is but one of billions who think this pandemic is the plague and ever so proud of it, do daily, so erroneously sing!
