What Would You Do
I heard the sneeze
I felt a wet breeze
Tell me now what should I do
Was it C-19 driven?
Should I be forgiven
With the traditional “God bless you”?
Or should I have a seizure
And scream at the sneezer
Then pour on the hand sanitizer
Make a big scene
Or self quarantine
I need a health care advisor
So I Googled and Facebook
They’re experts I’m told
From cooking to cleaning
From cancers to colds
Now I have enough Charmin
To last me four weeks
The bears say it’s strong
And yet soft on my cheeks
I’ve got bottled water
With plenty of spares
Now all I need is
Somebody who cares
I’m showing no symptoms
No sneezing or caughin’
My nose runs a bit
But not really that often
Yet my friends are afraid
I might breath on them
Or they just might touch something
Where my fingers have been
So here I sit
And no one comes near
And that’s how it will be
Till I get the “all clear”
