That Damn Virus

That Damn Virus

© by Bud Lemire on March 1, 2020

Don't want that virus, no way, no how

Whether it came from an Anteater or a Cow

Don't know why it started, just want it to end

Because that damn virus, surely ain't my friend

Don't know why it started like that

All I know is, it's a dirty rat

A killer that will leave everyone dead

Away from everyone, is where it should be lead

They said it came, from another place

If it's not stopped, it might wipe out the human race

I hope it is studied well, so soon we will all know

So we can understand it better, how to make it go

It's scary, when your life is on the line

When all you wanted, was to feel fine

How can a virus can be caught, when we don't understand

What the heck it is, that is spreading across the land

I hope all the Medical staff, can find a cure really fast

Or there will many of us, who will never last

Hope we can contain it, so it won't spread

Because I don't want to wind up dead

Put me in a plastic bubble, safe as I can be

A virus is on the loose, and it is after me

Nobody asked for this, and yet it is there

I wonder if you can catch it, by touch or by air

How quick can this virus spread

From China to the USA, we're dead

Can anyone stop it, hurry please!

Will I be safe, hiding behind trees

Don't want Corona, the virus or the beer

It better not come around here

Don't need another virus that will kill

That damn virus, don't want to be ill

Those of us with a weak immune system are

more at risk. The medical staff is working

on it, and will let us know when they find

something that will help against it.
