They said I was a key worker.

A worker; not a shirker. 

I'm a bedroom lurker!

Seperated from coworkers. 


Pack your bags, 

Assemble your rags,

The office is closed.

Our return still undisclosed. 


I work from home.

All alone.

But the seeds were sown...

My mind has been blown.


Yet you wankers still meet up, 

You wonder why cases still blow-up!

Is it a wind-up?

That you don't cover-up,

When you're close up?

The cases still pile up,

You should be locked up!


I used to beach clean, 

Clean up after the troublesome teen.

Our seas are like an overflowing latrine...

We should have forseen! 


For I was a flower,

But I'm losing my power. 

My unflinching willpower...

COVID will devour.
