Everyone’s checking the news on TV or their phone,

because it feels like we’re now entering some twilight zone.

As Coronavirus widens its grip,

and more of our nation is falling sick.

Panic buying has become the norm,

despite being told it’s such bad form.

Pasta, hand gel and toilet rolls,

to find some seems everyone’s goal!

Flights have been cancelled,

sport matches too.

It’s hard, but necessary to look after you!

Keep washing your hands thoroughly,

and ‘elbow bump’ in order to stay free.

Of catching or spreading this dangerous bug,

it’s more loving to refrain from giving a hug.

The NHS is under great strain,

they hope more ventilators and beds soon to gain,

In order to attend those that are sick,

and halt the spread of this bug quick.

We salute the doctors,

and their teams,

because their wards are bursting at the seams.

Please don’t think it couldn’t happen to you,

but keep positive and cheerful.

No good feeling blue,

our nation is strong and we will this weather,

the United Kingdom, GB will fight it together!
