New Norms Poem by Paul Warren

There will come a time
When thinking of this year's Covid 19 rhyme
Will we wonder if we did the right thing
Following the rules and what they bring

The social distancing we have practiced
With washing hands and being less interactive
How will it end after society being stopped
To start it all again and see the virus dropped

The Spanish ‘Flu came in three waves spread
Increasing each time the numbers of the dead
Will we be left with a similar problem for us
Returning to normal times without a fuss

The lessons learnt should make us better
Being ultra clean to the letter
And social distancing being society's new norm
So no shaking hands and 1.5 metres apart without scorn.
