Felt like shit

Out of the blue I heard it ping
the text flashed up. its news was grim
our contact tracing data force
you've been close to a Covid source
my brow with sweat and shaking knees
to find help with urgency
from feeling fine the symptoms bit
the cruel virus closed its grip
I dare not sleep or close my eyes
less comes grim reaper with his ready scythe
write a eulogy to be my epithet
I will wait until I do the test

I scanned the results with eyes half hid
but the results still showed as positive
much worse than MAN FUE I assure you bud
but a like is like a little hug
by coincidence my neighbours wife suffering the same
 I try to wear a mask of detached distain
