COVID-20<\/p>\n

Don’t look here, don’t look there,
\nBut COVID-20 is now in the air.
\nWe cannot see it, it is not fair,
\nIs it simply an empty scare?<\/p>\n

Just don’t bug me, I don’t care,
\nDon’t come near, or I swear,
\nI don’t worry, I have got a pair,
\nI just refuse to pull out my hair.<\/p>\n

Now listen fear, don’t you dare,
\nEven try to pull up your chair,
\nYou are warned, stay in your lair,
\nOr in your jaw, I’ll hit you square.<\/p>\n

No masks for me, tho folks stare,
\nI beat it once, another I can bear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
