Homeless in Coronaville

During the pandemic

When they heard a vaccine had been discovered,
all the virus boys and girls ran home to ask their parents
how they would ever find a lung to live in?
and would they starve with nowhere to feed?

CoronaDad was running around wildly,
bouncing off his cell walls while shouting
“What’s this world coming to? They’re gonna
treat us
like they treat
each other!
My children and grandkids are doomed!” 

But CoronaMom pooh-poohed the threat,
“They may have a vaccine,
but since when have Americans
agreed on anything?
They’ll make sure there are plenty of lungs
for you to live in, and maybe some of you
will move in with the boobs in the White house
and dine and dine and dine.”
