Villanelle for Covid 19

1.        Corona virus burst upon the scene,
2.        And doctors gave these simple tasks to men
3.        To flatten curves and reach a golden mean:
 
4.         First, wash your hands until they’re good & clean,
5.         Sing “Happy Birthday,” twice, then twice again.
6.        Corona virus burst upon the scene,
 
7.        So, give up shaking hands. Self-quarantine!
8.        Keep six feet from each enemy and friend,
9.         To flatten curves and reach the golden mean.
 
10.       Stack toilet paper high in your latrine,
11.       And binge your shows on Netflix from your den.
12.      Corona virus burst upon the scene,
 
13.       And it cares not who’s peasant, king, or queen.
14.      Don’t leave the house, not e’en for church. Amen!
15.      To flatten curves and reach the golden mean.
 
16.       “But isolation’s boring,” said the teen.  
17.      “I’d rather protest global warming!” Then
18.      Corona virus burst upon the scene,
19.      To flatten curves and reach Earth’s golden mean.
