Sing A Song of Covid

       Remember, remember,
crappy covid propaganda,
hysteria, deceipt and plot.
        Imagine our surprise,
to learn the old and sick died,
the fear caused by a sneeze and cough?
        We followed stupid rules,
that made Tom Parsons ecstatic,
and a tiny bit priapic!
        It's taxing to believe,
we hoped unmasked, unjabbed adults
would go away and, slowly die.
        But what I can't accept,
is that we sensitised the West,
to future flues erstwhile benign.

You are invited to compose a nursery rhyme inspired by the pandemic. Please email entries of up 16 lines to lucy@spectator.co.uk by midday on 4 August."

The poem has alternating 3, 4, 4 beats per respective line repeated throughout with very little rhyme.

Tom Parsons is a character from 1984.

A phenomenon that may not be familiar to you is sensitisation which is explained in the following law report, https://www.supremecourt.uk/cases/docs/uksc-2016-0140-judgment.pdf
