Damn and blast and house arrest
Before the lungs fail
Ring-a-ring-a-roses
No playing kids
Blind-eye playground test
The science of parties
Gene encoding virus
Population imploding
Deaths exploding
Nothing forever next
Except the vaccine
And spring and sun
Disinfecting everyone
The PPE we couldn’t get
Now left to sediment
The mess and test
for future ponderers
the mess and test
One hundred years on
Catching poses
and missing the rest
