The American Legend
When pondering the evils of Covid 19
Does anyone wonder about the number of last century?
We move so fast
The great USA with world class
Give us your tired your poor the lady inscribed
Our country is paved with gold and that was no lie
Written word was replaced with audio
And a screen having visuals that were naughty o
There once was a buggy with a horse
That disappeared when the engine was a perfect source
Soon we took flight
When Wilbur and Orville figured it out just right
This sparked imagination
And going into the space was the new world passion
Today when we were dealing with reality
Covid 19 quietly was doing the tally
A bug looking for a fight
Wiped everything out that was in sight
People have died others cried
When they have been trapped inside
America needs to put on its thinking cap
As it takes that long Covid 19 work at home nap
