Here is an example:
There once was a virus called corona
It was not a loner
Like fire it spread
Sending many to their bed
We’ve never known’a virus like corona.
So here’s the changes that went into place
It effected the whole human race
2 metres we stood apart
This was just the start
We needed to stay in our own space.
We stayed in day upon day
To keep conrona virus at bay
We had to stay home
We could not roam
For if we did corona would stay.
Just once a week we would pop out
Into the supermarkets with not many about
We went for our essential supplies
It looked like everyone was in disguise
Masks, gloves and hand gel throughout.
Tuesday
