WHITHER THE VIRUS

Testing here,

Testing there,

Testing, testing everywhere,

Testing one,

Testing two,

Testing you and you and you,

Testing yes,

But do take care,

COVID-19’s,

Everywhere.

It’s on the ground,

And in the air,

On goods and chattels too,

Hygiene counts,

And distance too,

Keep that virus,

Away from you.

TEMPTING THE VIRUS ON A SUNNY DAY

Naughty, naughty beaches,

For tempting all the breachers,

They frolicked, frisked and gambolled,

On the sands they rambled ,

Hanging close together,

In sunshine and warm weather,

I hope and hope and pray,

The virus kept away,

But odds on that it didn’t,

And they’ll regret their foolish day.

A few days later, a rash of cases in Victoria and NSW.
