THE DEADLY VIRUS
Dancing the tarantella of Death
Came a deadly virus from the East
Corona its name, Wuhan its birthplace.
Determined to defeat
All the other evil viruses, killer bacteria,
Wagging its sanguine mane,
Wreaking havoc in the globe,
It challenged
The supreme creature of this Earth
Man and his creative imagination
His technology and scientific vision!
Bending their heads in shame
In a lab tray sat the miffed micro-organisms,
Gossiping about the scathing bite of the needle
The soft white smooth body of the cotton wool
And the terrifying stench of iodine, benzene and Dettol.
