That little piggy who chose to beg off
going to market, stayed home with a cough.
He bragged he was a cut above
butchering, "when push comes to shove
I will always be king at the food trough."
While "king" was napping in the best mud hole,
roast beef pig tied his four feet to a pole;
had-none pig slopped glue in his eyes.
When "Come, get it!" the farmer cries,
stay-at-home pig finds out who's in control.

Bubble, Muddle, Puddle – Holiday Abroad Really – Just stay at Home
For all those that feel the need to fly abroad outside your personal bubble
Why, as surely that causes so much more trouble
Is it because you think you are protected
And therefore you are unaffected
Just because you believe
Somehow you have achieved
Immunity
Or, is it because you want a holiday?
If so then why not just stay at home
Have a staycation
Honour your nation
Because if you stay within your own bubble
Rather than spreading this virus
Into a bigger puddle
Then we may get through this muddle
So just stay at home and stop whinging
DAMO x
Remain inside your own house,
To keep away from virus;
Don't ever roam like a mouse,
The disease is contagious.
Keep safe under your own roof,
Place your life in quarantine;
There's no need to taste the proof
Of deadly covid-nineteen.
Let front-liners do their task,
Sans hindrance and distraction;
Go to market with face mask,
Or wait for food and ration.
What if the doctor and nurse
Succumb to unseen monster;
The things will turn even worse,
Health hazard will get longer.
So let lockdown be applied,
No touch, no hug, no handshake;
Not a few patients have died,
Precautions we have to take.

Stay at home, stay safe!
Be patient and save others.
The virus doesn't spread
People are spreading virus.
Stay at home, stay some more
Make prayers to the Creator.
Take care of your parents
if they got old age problems!
Stay at home more than a year
just to get save the universe!
Nothing to say in this day,
Just pray to God to save all of us!
Don't be selfish, be kind!
Think about the homeless,
who have no food, no dress!
How are they facing disease?
Don't be heartless, be light!
Everyone is becoming hopeless,
Be safe, it's not time to fight.
Stay at home some more please!
The Coronavirus is like gossip
Stay at home and stop spreading it

Confining to homes
Curfew comes
To know a few,why?
Still curfew
How to bring cure curfew for Corona?
Nor cure even a few
Not cure but can curtail some
Go,stay at home!
Covid 19 an unseen, unstoppable foe
Death toll is rising so just please stay at home
Families or singletons you are not alone
The message is clear just please stay at home.
Boredom gets high and tempers are shown
Still the message is clear just please stay at home
We all miss our friends and we feel so alone
But this message is clear just please stay at home
Locked away all for the good of our own
The message is clear just please stay at home
It won't be forever the end will be shown
Until that day comes, just please stay at home.
These words not In vain we are not all alone
For the sake of your loved ones.
JUS PLEASE STAY AT HOME!!!!!
Said Seamus to his wife, with a wink
Since I cannae go out for a drink
I'm sure me and you
Can find something to do
Let me hug you, while both of us think
Oatmeal stained pants
milk stained rug
1 diaper pail full
6 bottles to scrub
Switch clothes to the dryer
3 more loads to wash
background music: Miss Spider
the least annoying to watch
Time for lunch
"airplane" makes you laugh
I smell something awful
Time for a bath
Scrub-a-dub-dub
too many toys for one tub
but they keep you entertained
while I get the job done
All squeeky clean
time for a nap
But surprise! ...you're not tired
How about that?
Back to the kitchen
dirty dishes to wash
background music: Yo Gabba Gabba
the most annoying to watch
Full time, over time
every single day
complete infinite tasks
on a zero dollar pay
But then I look over
and catch you smiling at me
Somehow thats worth more
Than any check will ever be
