The Coroan Virus and a Pigeon

Corona-19 and a pigeon 

Got up at eight this Sunday morning
switched on the computer and the Guardian 
was full of the virus and how many had died.
I switched on the TV and watched a cartoon.
I follow the rules, wear a mask and clean
my hands, the rest is up to chance I refuse to
live in fear.
While writing these lines of homespun wisdom 
a pigeon sits on the ledge if I wave my hand
it will flay away, and sometimes I wish to fly too
but I do not want to be a pigeon.
