The Germans are known for their precision

And recently made an important decision.

They began to “open” – albeit measured –

Since getting it right is always treasured.

But looks like they may have done it too soon…

The numbers are rising like a zombie goon.

The world can seem awfully complicated

With so many solutions feeling outdated.

But the praying mantis keeps things simple.

Popping heads like you pop a pimple…

What’s this? A killer bee in my space?

No problem at all, I’ll eat out its face.

Well isn’t this a bit of a pickle?

Fauci again acting ever so fickle…

Donnie is right, not that drama queen.

The Spanish Flu ended with no vaccine!

We’ll see the same and we’ll see it soon…

50 million dead until we’re immune.

America has become anti-intellectual

Experts are perceived as ineffectual.

Education is hard, and can be quite dull!

And takes up too much room in the skull.

But look at the numbers of unemployed…

Without education you get destroyed.

A little good news in this sea of bad

Something to make you feel a bit glad.

Now with so many people on our planet

Will the earth make enough food, can it?

The answer is yes! We’re doing quite well.

Though there is still hunger we must quell.

“Whatever it takes” has become the rule

So we’re tapping a new antibody pool.

Llamas have some really strong stuff

And plenty to give, more than enough.

Not to mention those fab eyelashes!

If only they could cause virus crashes.

Generally speaking, a Task Force is done

When the battle it’s fighting has been won.

But the rate of infection across the nation

Is seeing little these days but acceleration.

So disbanding the Force at this point in time

Seems more like committing a bit of a crime.

Life goes on even through a pandemic

With some human traits just plain systemic.

Happy unions of love are one such trait!

While half of them collapsing will not wait

For life to resume on its regular course…

Seems not even corona can stop a divorce.

The idea behind waging a big trade war

Is to stop things from ever reaching our shore.

Obviously we’re talking about different stuff,

But these imports from Asia, enough is enough!

First we watched Corona as it rapidly spread,

And now come hornets which can kill us dead?

It used to be when the home office setup

Would be interrupted by some getup

You’d try to cover the embarrassing gaffe

With self-deprecation and a laugh.

Now it’s normal for kids and cats to preen

All over the office, on your screen.
