A Porters Approach To Coronavirus

Since that shutdown thing
Things have been quite quiet here at work

Im a porter in a hospital
Moving people for transport and some other things now

My hospital has stayed the same,
But everyone is looking like surgeons and dentists,

Ive read the governments writing,
We mustn't do this; we must do that,

Fair enough,
They probably know their stuff

The COBRA meetings probably sort it all out
With them plonked in the under-Westminster bunker

People are going rather do-lally
Wearing gas-masks, NBC suits and more

All we read at the hospital is grey and different from the other
The shops MAY open; the schools WILL close

The staff are doing their bit - not so much at this hospital
We help people who cant walk and move

I do wish the papers would stop
We might as well give up if we take all that seriously...
