With the depressing news these days, I hope you’re keeping safe.
I have to admit this deviates from my usual topics. Inspired by this silly photo I received today, I spent ten minutes drafting and fifteen minutes fine tuning this poem:
YOU CORONA!
I know a Karina and Corrina
But I never trust you Corona
Ever since I learned to thrust a slice of lime or lemon
Into you
Like a dice to slice the demon
In you
What’s in you Corona
As I stare at your bottle
My mind left to throttle
As you’re a monster no little
You tunnel down our throats
Channel to our liver
Via the lungs
And sparks a fever
Now I finally realize
There’s another Corona
Which is no ordinary vice
With no known vaccine
The only advice
Is to stay away from you
A vicious virus
Oh you Coronavirus
