Covid Blues
The great ape skulks within his home
Talking to friends on his telephone
All alone.
His cousins live among the trees
Grooming each other as they please
Life at ease.
The Businessman is very pleased
Massive profits from PPEs
Life’s a breeze
The politician disagrees
He’s brought the country to its knees
Brain freeze.
