Got this Covered
from How To Die Laughing
by Pablo Byrne
GOT THIS COVERED-
Pretty much self-explanatory as here we are in 2020 sitting out a very strange mind- and world- numbing experience that seems to have changed things for ever in the space of just a few months. Lot’s of conspiracy theories knocking about around the Corona-virus as well as mind-numbingly stupid name-calling and arrogance all because of a wee microbe! Meanwhile the promise to read loads of books and make good use of the time hasn’t quite been realised.

Hopefully I can finish this book!
Comfortable confinement We’re all shut away Locked down and obedient Or so you could say Business going bust Waist and bust expanding This Covid pandemic Forbids understanding
Whether it should wither The bust or the biz We have to bounce back And fizzle or fizz The trick’s to stay happy Make good of each day Cos one things for sure This pest ‘s here to stay
We hold out for a vaccine In our homes, all snug Like Gnomes on a toadstool Or bugs in a rug In the hope of a treatment Like Remdesivir Or Hydroxychloroquine But when will it appear? So back to the bookshelf Select me a tome Dust off the cover Sit down on my own It’s no good just wasting This time we’ve been given Relax and enjoy it May we be forgiven!
For maybe we are guilty Of one simple crime Letting leaders create this To use at some time To conform and control us I feel that - don’t you? Here stuck in my basement Stuck in this stew
Experts texperts Conspiracies, plot? That’s not how I see it But perhaps I am not Quite as bright as I think Does 5G make us rot? So what book shall I choose? Stephen King - Watcha got?!
