Take a Powder

Go away, Today,
You have overstayed your stay.
You think you're tough,
We've had enough it's been rough,
It's time to go.
Go now,
We can't allow
This bedlam to last,
You've had your day,
Just vanish, we say
Be a memory of our past.
Shove off!!
Oh! you've acquired a cough,
From someone you infected.
How do you feel?
Do you feel ill?
Has Human breath been detected,
A virus in you,
That is new?
Caught, from a human being,
It's our breath that causes your death,
We can't believe what we are seeing,
A vicious virus,
Is not desirous,
To anyone on Earth.
We've invented a puffer,
A virus snuffer,
That will kill and stop future births.
As we wave goodbye,
We all breathe a sigh,
All feeling very chuffed,
Who would have thought we'd kill the virus,
Who was so desirous,
With a Super Sniffer Puff.

Hello Shirley ... my wife and I have been isolating due to testing positive. Thankfully we were both double-vaxxed so we never got ill - hopefully this year will be better Shirley - Lindsay

So sorry to hear that you and your wife tested positive for the virus. It was very encouraging that you had both been double-vaxxed (it shows having had them is beneficial) I hope you are both still well and looking forward to a year that is full of hope for the future. Thank you, Lindsay. Take care.
