    Tae a Virus

    Twa months ago, we didna ken,
    Yer name or ocht aboot ye,
    But lots of things have changed since then,
    I really must salute ye.

    Yer spreading rate is quite intense,
    Yer feeding like a gannet,
    Disruption caused, is so immense,
    Ye’ve shaken oor wee planet.

    Corona used tae be a beer,
    They garnished it wae limes
    But noo it’s filled us awe wae fear,
    These days are scary times.

    Nae shakin hawns, or peckin lips,
    It’s whit they awe advise
    But scrub them weel, richt tae the tips,
    That’s how we’ll awe survive.

    Just stay inside the hoose ye bide,
    Nae sneakin oot for strolls,
    Just check the lavvy every hoor,
    And stock-take your loo rolls.

    Our holidays have been pit aff,
    Noo that’s the Jet2 patter,
    Pit oan yer thermals, have a laugh
    And paddle “doon the waater”!

    Canary isles, no for a while,
    Nae need for suntan cream,
    And awe because o this wee bug
    We ken tae be..19.

    The boredom surely will set in,
    But have a read, or doodle,
    Or plan yer menu for the month
    Wi 95 pot noodles.

    When these run oot, just look aboot
    A change, it would be nice,
    We’ve beans and pasta by the ton,
    And twenty stane o rice.

    So dinny think ye’ll wipe us oot,
    Aye true, a few have died,
    Bubonic, bird flu, and TB,
    They came, they left, they tried.

    Ye might be gallus noo, ma freen,
    As ye jump fae cup tae cup,
    But when we get oor vaccine made,
    Yer number will be up.

    Little bit sad in places, humorous in others and finally defiant, you are a very talented man to roll all of that into a "simple" rhyme.

    Thanks for your efforts

    Thanks, Nomad, but not my work. Just something making the rounds in Scotland.
