There once was a COVID-19 Who’d strike if your hands weren’t clean But with water and soap We brought safety and hope Until they could find a vaccine. Our sweet Mona Lisa whose face Glows with kindness and beauty and grace Said “Pardon me folk This Corona’s no joke —I’m off to go shelter in place.”
In retaliation, Paul:
A virus, Corona by name
Had garnered considerable fame;
But I sheltered in place,
Wore a mask on my face,
And rendered that virus quite tame.
There once was a COVID-19
Who’d strike if your hands weren’t clean
But with water and soap
We brought safety and hope
Until they could find a vaccine.
Our sweet Mona Lisa whose face
Glows with kindness and beauty and grace
Said “Pardon me folk
This Corona’s no joke
—I’m off to go shelter in place.”
