Who Is Corona(2) ....? Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

Ah, I am here again, back from my hairdresser's
Because of the corona rules
For the first time the hairdresser's is UNLOCKED
The hairdressers may receive their guests for the first time!

we have to desinfect our hands
and be seated 1,5 meter from each other
I don't bother
I'll wait patiently
less longer than SIX weeks

about
that attack
completely black
I hope I don't miss it
to finish this verse
as the best
not as the worst

this attack is not good for us humans and individuals at all
if I throw you the ball
you just have to catch that
do I rhyme or not?
I forgot
it is not so beautiful at all,

IF this rhyming is at the expense of the meaning of poetry,
better
to write like my last letter,
just the correct words and pay attention
to the content,
yes, the content and the message are most important
it has to be crystal clear what you mean

yes indeed Maria Marla or Carla,
Corona is the worst of all,
when you think of Sars or Ebola,
Spanish flu is the worst, olala

but remember
in the era of the Spanish flu,
there is no vaccine at all,
no, no vaccine at all

humanity had less laboratories
that was only one century ago, yes yes,
we were still stupid,
they indeed know a Maria, a Marla and a Carla, but no Covid!

Otherwise it had long been called Covid-18,
because that was in 1918

Not in the year of 2019
Simply in the twentieth century
We had the Spanish Fury
That Spanish Flu
That killed almost the whole world

So Corona is no Maria, no Marla or Carla
it is no woman or man at all
it is most aggressive, lunatic and schizophrenic
the most aggressive pandemic
be alert!
wash at most times your hands
with the best desinfectants

if you go by train or city-bus
or if you just wanna bask
don't forget that 1,5 meter plus,
and please wear your correct mask!
