An Elevator Ride For One

An Elevator Ride For One

©by Bud Lemire on April 6, 2020

With COVID19 around, life isn't fun

I'll choose an elevator ride for one

Just being cautious, so respect me please

I don't want to be around, in case you should sneeze

Anyone could have it, let's be safe for me and you

Ride the elevator alone, it's the best option to do

Yes, I'd prefer to visit, but my life is worth more

So let's be safe, when opening the elevator door

Don't be offended, if I don't want you near

This virus we're facing, has us all in fear

It's deadly, a killer to some, so please be smart

Understand what is happening, by playing your part

Let's do our best, to keep this virus away from the Tower

If you use your head, I know you have the power

Common sense, from what you have learned from it

Use the brains in your head, not the ones where you sit

I try to take the elevator, in the middle of the night

Hoping that, everyone stays out of sight

The less people, the brighter will be the sun

So I prefer, an elevator ride for one

With Social Distancing, and trying to keep a safe distance

away, it's not always easy in a small elevator. We must do

what we must to ensure we stay healthy and away from what

is going around. It may seem rude, but you need to understand.

If I have it, you don't want it. If you have it, I don't want it. I am

doing you a favor as well, by keeping the distance between us.
