People are dropping like winter flies,
And it's all down to just one man.
This celebrated Christmas season,
Like shit has hit the fan.
The carrier was Father Christmas,
With a mutant strain of Covid 19.
Old Santa like the virus invisible,
Seems his presents weren't so clean.
Survivors remember hearing sneezing,
Others swear it was nasty coughing.
But whatever came down their chimney,
It seems there just was no stopping.
But for now we'll send a vaccine,
To his abode in North Pole lands.
Also some soap with a clear message,
To wash his jolly and dirty hands.
An excellent poem about the emergence of Covid-19 pandemic and its impact upon life styles with a great inbuilt message in the text... appreciated.

Poor old Father Christmas...a highly original take on Covid- 19 Shaun! Others on this site should certainly take heed, rather than just simply stating how nasty the virus is..that's not poetry from my perspective at least. Alas. nuanced thought and language are sadly lacking on Treasure Island these days.Perhaps, Dastardly has stolen member's brains! ! You my friend are the exception that proves the rule. Consequently, it's a fab Father Christmas five from me!
