At first it served as a sign of hope

But now it makes us look like a dope.

A thousand beds are going to waste

While our hospitals are being outpaced

By the growing number of urgently sick

Expanding with every tick tick tick…

Seems a little harsh to me…

There you are, stuck at sea

A thousand men on a ship

And a virus joining for the trip.

This ain’t a guy inclined to yelp

But was fired for saying “A little help?”

As social distancing becomes the norm

While we battle this huge sh!t storm

We’ve set a new communication goal

And video conferencing is how we roll.

Some tips for how to set your screen:

Underwear and ceilings should not be seen…

It might be hard to find on a map

But its leader can cure Covid in a snap.

Belarus has advice to get through

This trying time with two things to do.

Best of all you can build up resistance

While also keeping your social distance.

These pillars of virtue come to children’s aid

By eating their homework in every grade.

Dogs are exceptional creatures for sure

And pretty much always are part of the cure.

They are loyal and true no matter the case,

And will even take the heat in a cop chase…

There stands freedom’s most famous symbol

Representing a nation that’s always nimble.

And behind it we see a huge hospital ship

Arriving into New York on a critical trip.

A city in lockdown, a nation gripped by fear…

This ship stands for hope, a solution is near.

Our nation has been through much worse

No doubt each time it feels like a curse.

World wars and plagues and the Depression…

And a little less menacing – the Great Recession.

Americans have always known how to fight

Now it’s our turn to make things right.

Of all the products to be put on hold

With just a small number that can be sold

I’d have to say that this one makes sense…

Lovers are separated and things are tense.

But man oh man this business will boom

Once dates no longer take place on Zoom!

Little can do more to make enemies united

And have the spirit of cooperation ignited

Than to have someone do something so stupid

That poles come together as tho shot by Cupid.

The Left and the Right condemn as a class

This jerk who tests positive for being an ass.

It’s a bit fun to joke about all the pain

Of staying at home and going insane.

Online classes that are clogging the net

And short little tempers that we all get.

But at times like this when anxieties roam

It’s awfully nice to have everyone home.
