We travel hopefully and pray
That a cough or sniffle on the bus
Will not lead to the end of us!
Dire news of virus and bacteria
Now in New Zealand and Nigeria!
Events and travel plans curtailed
Italian tourism – derailed...
Schools close their doors – so what's to do?
Social happenings are shot through
Flights from Hong Kong put on hold
Tickets for football games - unsold.
Worldwide finance takes a hit
Quarantine slows the pace – a bit
But the pesky bug ignores all borders
A sudden strike and it's – last orders!
Politicians haven't got a clue
A threat that can't be seen – is new
Meanwhile, with stealth Corona travels
And unsuspecting lives unravels ...
