The Covid 19 Cronicles

I was born in Wuhan China a little out the way No one thought that much of me so I thought I’d stay Creeping about from person to person it was so cool As breathing on each other was the infection rule So they call me a 21st Century plague And you better take note of me and not be too vague Just look at Italy who didn’t pay a heed They are in lockdown for their medical creed I laugh heartily when I think Of the toilet paper shortage on the brink So spray yourself with hand sanitiser until it hurts Then wrap yourself toilet paper to complete the works I am famous now you’ll remember me In the history books I’ll have my own page easily As 2020 will be my exclamation year When I came and struck in such a lasting fear The question that is left for all of us With gathering in groups causing such a fuss When will we able to see our sporting heroes play In stadiums fields or racetracks on their day. © Paul Warren Poetry
