The Coronavirus Rap
by Alexander and Jil Hall

When I first heard of this virus it just passed me by
I did not realise the effect on my life

Now I’m stuck in my house for 24/7
If you think that is bad, you would be forgiven

I’m screaming, I’m streaming; and I don’t mean with cold
Watching so many films now my life is on hold

I don’t really mind, but I do miss my friends
This isolation is cool, but for what it portends

My gran is at risk and you know what that means
She’s old but she’s sound; she’s made of good genes

But I worry about all the vulnerable folk
Who can’t get their groceries; for them it’s no joke

With stockpiling rife and shopping gone mad
We need to be careful, be good; don’t be bad

Think of others before yourselves and take care
Don’t strip those supermarket shelves til they’re bare

We all need those things, the essentials of life
Some people don’t think; their selfishness is rife

If we help out each other, it won’t be no bind
So do what is right and always be kind.

Stay safe everyone.
