Sestina

Corona Virus Poem

Paper towel turns on.

Wet hands large glob of soap.

Cover with big bubbles.

Rub and count to twenty.

Shake for fifteen seconds.

Don't touch anything hard.

Sneezing gets your guard on.

Bless the elbow, not hard.

Share to wash with bubbles.

Our lives count on seconds.

Virus flies almost twenty.

Liquid or bar's good soap.

Glycerin rose is soap

Killing molecules on

surfaces that are hard.

The beauty of bubbles

scrubs away in seconds.

Give it a count twenty.

Rabies creates bubbles

It takes months not seconds

Bites cause one in twenty.

Clean a wound with much soap

reduce molecules on

muscle joins fast and hard.

Our panic is not twenty.

Will there be enough soap?

C. P. C.  evil turns on ~

No vaccine makes it hard.

Guns not filled of bubbles.

Virus spreads split seconds.

Life has many seconds

recall being twenty

the solution is soap

you desire to go on

without beloved its hard

memory pops bubbles

Keep strong, although its hard

recall: wash with bubbles

sing birthday for seconds

see children be twenty

the solution is soap

you desire to go on.

Please wash your hands in hot water and soap for twenty seconds, some say to sing the Happy Birthday song, before you eat, touch another person, come home, before you touch your face. As a matter of fact train yourself not to touch your face with your fingers.
