Quarantine Blues

 A tiny germ

And a big bloviator

Met in the middle

Of the whole world

They threw down

They went round

It was all on TV

It won some

He lost some

We all got to see

With eyes on the rear view

We got to decree

What should have been done

And how it should be

As time raced along

With the speed of a snail

Just how many times 

Can you check your email?

And last week is gone

You don’t know where it went

Nor the week before that

It’s like time is bent

Back on itself

So it comes round again

And repeats itself

Again and again 

Did I change my socks?

Have I had a shower?

The days go by

Hour by hour

So this is how it feels

To give up your power

Kind of relieved 

But still apprehensive

Is it worth this to avoid

Care that’s intensive?
