Corona Corona Coronavirus
Why is it that you despise us?
So much so that you do cause
All of us to stay indoors

Romance is hard enough a task
To do without wearing face masks
You’ve taken from us that sheer bliss
Of leaning in and stealing a kiss.

You were pretty dire as a beer
Weak as water, insincere
One sip left you wishing, “please no more!”
And what the hell was that lemon for?

This “work from home thing” is not all that
Have you seen the size of Hong Kong flats!
Sure they may be expensive as hell,
But they’re not much bigger than prison cells.

Now supermarkets are anarchy and fear
As people fight the shelves to clear
No toilet paper or liquid soap
Sanitizer (and condoms?), don’t even hope.

You’ve destroyed so many jobs of ours
The economy will bear your scars
For this year and many far beyond
Your after effects felt very long

So time out now, we’ve had enough
It’s time for us to call your bluff
We are sick of fearing when we cough
Please pack your bags and just f—- off!
