Truly Sent To Try Us

We’re locked down in lockdown
can’t even go downtown
covid reality 
tests our fragility.
This coronavirus
truly sent to try us.

Vaccine tourist’s sly plan
to prick in northern land
suddenly went astray
through government delay.
This coronavirus
truly sent to try us.

In Wiarton, Willie (1)
likes not willy chilly
if Tuesday's a sun day
a Groundhog Day replay?
This coronavirus
truly sent to try us.
