A virus took over the world
In the shape of corona it curled
It started in Wuhan
Where travel they did ban
But globally it all unfurled

It’s only a flu, we were told
But that argument soon became old
In Europe it spread
And many were dead
In all countries eventually took hold

Everywhere there was lots of confusion
With this new pandemic suffusion
Most travel was banned
Activities canned
Trump said it was all an illusion

Many countries locked down with a bang
And the cry to self-isolate rang
In Australia each week
It became rather bleak
From every TV the news sang

The older ones lockdown did reach
While youngsters just flocked to the beach
A tantrum Scott threw
And made more rules anew
While exhorting the teachers to teach

Now over in the USA
Trump continued to tweet and say
Nothing to see here
The world has gone queer
Our America’s still best today

How extraordinary now Trump appears
He admits it’s not skittles and beers
He’ll finally admit
This virus has hit
And he blames WHO for all his fears

Meanwhile back in Australia we’re fine
Keeping touch with our families online
We’re flattening the curve
And holding our nerve
Getting by with much food and more wine

But we wonder just where it will end
Is this now our new normal trend?
We keep children amused
And keep track of the news
And attempt the graphs to comprehend

While we’ve all been in our lockdown state
Pollution’s starting to abate
Our PM’s turned socialist
Could he be environmentalist?
Back to business as usual I’d hate

So let’s learn from this COVID-19
Back to old ways I’m really not keen
Let’s all readjust
And do what we must
But from busyness let us all wean
