Remember the bad old days when it seemed as though the virus was winning? Everyone was baffled and bewildered. Then came a chink of light and, more importantly, hope...
A Physician Wearing a Seventeenth Century Plague Preventive Costume
The Covid virus heaves a mighty breath,
Spreading terror, panic and confusion
It crudely spews its evil spores of death,
Which infest the land in wild profusion .
This monster knows no sea too deep to cross,
Nor mountain peak that is too high to scale,
It trades in heartbreak, trouble, pain and loss.
And preys upon the very old and frail.
We’ve employed all possible resources:
Lockdown, isolation, social distance,
Finally, the diabolic forces,
Meet with unassailable resistance.
We’ve been given hope and found salvation ,
With the rollout of a vaccination.
