Who's going to pull a
rabbit from the hat?

we could do with some magic.

Tragedy?
it might be,
I don't take this kind of thing lightly,
but, actually, there isn't a but
when they shut the town down.

What next,
troops on the street who'll
shoot at groups on street corners?

old people took off ventilators and
told to ******* and die?

life's an itch
and we try not to scratch
but we do.
