Don’t feel like reading? Listen to me read the poem.
COVID19 is here to stay
SO from people we keep away
Isolation
Isolation
When you really want to roam
But you’re stuck bored at home
Isolation
Isolation
When your kids begin to whine
You know it’s time for more screen time
Isolation
Isolation
When you think your life’s a mess
Then you check out the US
Isolation
Isolation
When you listen to Trump preach
Then inject yourself with bleach
Isolation
Isolation
As we see the death tolls rise
Please sort out the truth from lies
Isolation
Isolation
You know you’re in big trouble
Choosing which friends are in your bubble
Isolation
Isolation
When for work you get prepared
But end up working from bed
Isolation
Isolation
When all your meetings are on zoom
You have to pick the right room
Isolation
Isolation
When you are bored and want to cry
Remember, you’ve got WIFI!
Isolation
Isolation
When your wardrobe gets a glance
But you end up in sweat pants
Isolation
Isolation
Need an excuse to drink alone?
Just pick up the bloody phone!
Isolation
Isolation
As the virus spreads across the globe
All hail the germaphobes
Isolation
Isolation
When deciding what’s essential
The West made loo paper preferential
Isolation
Isolation
For social distancing tear jerkers
Spare a thought for our health workers
Isolation
Isolation
When you really crave connection
But all you get is introspection
Isolation
Isolation
For those who’re stuck away from home
At the wrong time they chose to roam
Isolation
Isolation
When you’re bored and cannot leave
It’s time to binge watch lots of teev
Isolation
Isolation
When you’re hungry but not sure
Your fridge always wins the war
Isolation
Isolation
If there’s other people in your plans
Just wash your bloody hands
Isolation
Isolation
If you’re feeling kind of lonely
Help’s a call away only
Isolation
Isolation
If you’re starting to feel sick
Quarantine, don’t be a dick
Isolation
Isolation
If you feel like you’re not coping
You’ll reach out, we all are hoping
Isolation
Isolation
You can’t eat at restaurants
So you become cooking savants
Isolation
Isolation
If you’re stuck at home not moving
You’ve got to get your body grooving
Isolation
Isolation
You might keep funny hours
But please don’t forget to shower
Isolation
Isolation
If you’re missing rocking out with friends
Do it online instead
Isolation
Isolation
When you’re feeling like a mug
Because you really want a hug
Isolation
Isolation
When you’re isolating with others
Their weird traits you will discover
Isolation
Isolation
Then when you start nesting
Your DIY skills will be tested
Isolation
Isolation
If someone might be feeling grim
Please make sure you check in
Isolation
Isolation
If you’re feeling like you’re cursed
Someone ALWAYS has it worse
Isolation
Isolation
When you’re bored as bored can be
Find your creativity
Isolation
Isolation
If your partner makes you cranky
Why not try some hanky panky?
Isolation
Isolation
When your housemates act like poo
Remember they’re suffering too
Isolation
Isolation
Go on and gripe and moan*
Just stay the fuck at home
Isolation
Isolation
The End
