The year of the Rat,

The year of the plague,

Where did it come from?

It’s all very vague,

The epicentre, Wuhan,

City in lockdown,

Travels cancelled,

Scientist baffled,

People scared,

Street’s deserted,

Unseen enemy,

Creating fear,

Did you know that Corona is a beer?

A cough a splutter,

Paranoia,

We will utter,

Quick, go see the quack,

I have a virus attack,

If we all stay calm,

Hygiene is key,

Cover that cough,

Wash those hands,

Spread this word across the land,

The virus will run,

It will be driven out,

I have no doubt………
