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.
