COUPLET-19

Two metres apart

Is where we start

Then self-isolate

Before it’s too late

Wash your hands

Else virus expands

Using PPE

Helps safety

Society shut

We all stay put

Food shops empty

Used to be plenty

No supermarket trawl

Just Internet haul

But what of the old

Whose lives now unfold

There’s no face-to-face

Nor virtual place

We laugh, we sing, we joke

Keeps spirits up for us folk

Videos to see

WhatsApp glee

Woman’s sneeze

Toddler flees

Toilet roll

Not cash he stole

Human environmental attack

Pandemic weapon – nature fights back

World at war

Like never before

So many go that extra mile

Never happened for such a long while

Good things can come out of so much pain

Self-centred actions we all must refrain

Once over it’s time to rethink

As humanity steps back from the brink

Wake up call

For us all
