Why Don'T You Say Goodbye

To the melody of "Cara Mia," by Jay & the Americans c. 1965 Corona virus, Why Don't you say goodbye Each time you infect A life you do wreck You're just an ugly bug You halt us when we hug Our graves you've dug You're creepy and smug Here's my final word You accursed nerd Hitch yourself to a bird Fly away... away... Goodbye! (Chorus): COVID 19, Why COVID 19, Why COVID 19, Why Goodbye ~ GOODBYE!

If we could watch 'Bye, Bye Birdie (in 1970?), why not 'Bye Bye Buggie' now?! ~ gw

Yes, let us just hope for it to fly away. It is so tiring and awful to see day to day. ! I hope all is well Gershon. Have a nice day :)

As for me, I sure don't want to see it stay... CV can crawl away as far as I'm concerned. As long as it leaves! :) gw
