We Didn't Start the Virus

A little ditty I wrote to be sung to the tune of Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire."

We Didn't Start the Virus

Wuhan, China, Feeling ill Coughing, Fever, 

No vaccine or pill

Coronavirus

Covid 19

Princess Cruise Line Quarantined

Spreading Fast

Italy

Singing from

Their balconies

We didn't start the virus

So much we're learning

Now the world's been turning

We didn't start the virus

No we didn't light it

And we're trying to fight it

First case in 

Washington

My home state

No place to run

Work from home

Don't touch your face

Wash your hands

At 20 second pace

Panic buying

Toilet paper gone

What are we gonna wipe

Our poor butts on

Masks and gloves

Shields and spray

Lysol my 

best friend today

We didn't start the virus

So much we're learning

Now the world's been turning

We didn't start the virus

No we didn't light it

And we're trying to fight it

Closing restaurants,

Bars and pubs

Drive through or deliver

To get our grub

Sports all stop

NBA

Concerts cancelled 

It's getting cra cra

Celebrities confirmed

All through the ranks

Andy Cohen, Rand Paul

Rita Wilson and Tom Hanks

We didn't start the virus

So much we're learning

Now the world's been turning

We didn't start the virus

No we didn't light it

And we're trying to fight it

Social distance

Self isolate

Nothing on but

Democrat debates

Global pandemic 

Deaths begin to rise

Flatten the curve

Immunocompromised 

Travel restrictions

Shelter in place

Stay at home

Vacation erased

We didn't start the virus

So much we're learning

Now the world's been turning

We didn't start the virus

No we didn't light it

And we're trying to fight it

Immunity

CDC

Asymptomatic and

Healthcare Capacity

WHO is what

Zoonotic new strain

Community spread

And elder pain

Sharp spike

Tests not free

Communicable and

Epidemiology 

Delayed action

Daily speech

Trump's big mouth

We should've impeached

We didn't start the virus

So much we're learning

Now the world's been turning

We didn't start the virus

No we didn't light it

And we're trying to fight it

But when we are gone

Will it still spread on, and on, and on, and on
