I've Got the Covid Blues

Feeling warm

Achy too

Started coughing

Must be flu

First in Wuhan

Epidemic strain

Dispursed by cruise ship,

Airplane and train

It needs a name

This flu we fear

CDC called it "Corona"

Mexico's tasty beer

When it hit the U.S.

We all started to freak

Illness paranoia

At its highest peak

Wear the masks

Make sure you clean

Don't touch your face

Or you'll be quarantined!

Forget the hugs

And grab your gloves

Elbow bumps only

To show your love

Widespread panic

During this illness caper

Stores sold out of

Water, Lysol, and toilet paper

Horders of sanitizer

Selling via Amazon

$70 for Purell

Until they were shut down

No school, no crowds

No diners, no bars

Statewide lock down

So we can't travel far

Job germs aplenty

So time to work from home

Telecommute for 2 months

In my personal biodome

Social distance required

Pandemic world-wide

Deadly flu out to get us

And there's no place to hide

Can't sneeze in public

Cough or lightly wheeze
Instantly labeled contagious

Hey, it's just my allergies!

Hysteria commonplace

Panic on the brain

The world all cast members

In "The Andromeda Strain"

Just like Y2K

We'll laugh about this flu

But in the middle of this chaos

I'm kind of scared, aren't you?

Put me in hibernation

Eight weeks ought to do

Can skip the virus drama

Won't need paper for my poo

So we sit here hunkered down

Waiting for virus to strike

Anticipation killing me

Covid19 just drop the mic!

Trapped in the house

Small space I am crammed

Only outlet for amusement

Is texting and Instagram

The one wish I make

The request I do dream

Is to hear those sweet words

"We've discovered a vaccine!"

Stay healthy everyone!
