Lockdown will make you frown
and maybe get you down
the motto of the virus
is 'we'll get you to hire us! '
Some of us are quite immune
others will be gone by June
I hope it isn't coming soon
for poor people from Truro to Troon
The little fellas will say
'We're just doing our job
a year ago there weren't many of us
but now we're quite a mob! '
You ask 'What about the vaccine? '
that's coming on the scene
we little fellas hate it
it's really quite obscene
So we'll try what life always does
when it's feeling lost or trapped
we'll get our genome in a buzz
and make us all adapt
The problem is there's too many of YOU
and it's time for us to feed
I know it makes you all feel blue
but you're satisfying OUR need!
Perhaps if you listen to nature more
and realise 'It's us not them! '
that started all this war
let's get a balanced ecosystem
then live for evermore!
If not, we'll reap the harvest of our greed
and succumb at jet speed
we'll say 'Goodbye' to wellness
and maybe find the stillness
within the stillness..............
