Lockdown Blues

We are all in lockdown,
This is for sure,
We are all hiding from a virus,
Of which there is no cure,

We lock ourselves,
Behind closed doors,
We’ve switched off the news,
Because we can’t take anymore,
Lockdown blues,

We daren’t cough,
We daren’t sneeze,
No bodily functions,
Are welcome here please!

So give me the mask,
Give me the glove.
Let me step outside,
Let me face,
The very thing we are all frightened off,

A virus of which there is no cure,
A virus that has changed our lives forevermore,
