In the Year of the Virus

We stayed indoors and watched box sets

We all stayed in with family pets

Twenty twenty, we won’t forget

The year of the Virus.

We wore our masks out to the shops

We stayed inside to avoid the cops

NHS pulled out all the stops

In the year of the Virus.

We watched the weather from indoors

Washed the walls and mopped the floors

We never cared ‘bout football scores

In the year of the Virus.

We never went to gigs or pubs,

Out to eat or to nightclubs,

Our homes became our social hubs,

In the year of the Virus.

On social media, mobile phones,

Skype and Zoom, we were never alone

We never needed to phone home

In the year of the Virus.

We ordered all our meals online,

We sometimes even drank some wine

Mostly  we were doing fine

In the year of the Virus

The world became a different place

To live in for the Human Race

Now people have a friendly face

In the year of the Virus.
