Corona Kids.

Goldfinch60



So the kids are back at school,

Despite the corona virus.

The powers that be

Said the kids would be alright,

So why has my neighbour’s daughter

Had to stay home for ten days,

As all the other children

In her class,

Corona was found in a child

And the children were sent home,

Sent home to isolate.

It has been found in other schools,

So why were the kids not tested,

Tested to see if they were free,

Free of this awful bug.

But no the government knew best,

Knew best!!

How would they know that?

They were warned,

But no the experts do not know,

Do not know what the government

Believes is right.

  • Comment from author about the poem: My neighbours 11 year old daughter has been sent home to isolate as a child in her class was found to have the virus. All her classmates have been sent home as well. One of these children has three siblings who go to another school and this child has to isolate in her own room and not congregate with the others in her own house. But the politicians no best!!!!!!

    Sooo - they at times deserve the clown names given them by the tabloids - Bozo, Coco, etc?!

      They certainly do Orchi.

        They've got a clap of a different sort now - the slow hand-clap. They must U-turn surely and pay NHS workers a decent pay rise: 'The labourer is worthy of his/her hire'. Time was when the only Corona was fizzy drinks. The milkman even delivered them with the milk. We remember anything since 1066 of course.

        It gets close sometimes; in my county, we have 168,764 cases and 3,145 deaths, scary when it does

          It surely does Jerry.

          Your poem expresses the frustration so many of us feel about exposure of youngsters as carriers of virus.

            ... you could see that coming a million miles away ...
            ... what a crazy world we live in ...

              Yes we knew it would happen but who listens to us?
