LOVE BEATS THE VIRUS

I’m stuck inside for fourteen days

Isolated from love, from sunshine’s rays

Removed from my job without any pay

I watch from my window a lone bluejay.

The virus had caught me and trapped me inside

Alone with a fantasy that has crept into my mind

On this Valentine’s Day when I’ll be left behind

From flowers and candy and all mankind.

My fantasy for this Valentine's Day

Is that we all self-quarrantine so Covid will go away

Maybe take the hint and decide not to stay

Won't find a host to kill and betray.

It would show the virus that love can't be beat

And that will be the Covid's defeat

Roses are red, violets are blue, and sugar is sweet

But you, Covid - time to take a back seat!
