Are You a Covid Hero?

Are You a Covid Hero?

With our lives under threat,
We need to be tough,
Single-minded and focused,
Though the journey is rough

Take precautions with pride,
Be upbeat, not a moaner,
Help the world wage its war
On this nasty Corona

We’re part of the fighters,
Who do what is asked,
Stay apart, keep our space,
Wash our hands, wear a mask

In our homes only two
Household groups ever mix,
We keep outside meets small,
Limit numbers to six

We will not be misled
By the crowd seeking fools,
We are life-saving heroes,
Who respect all the rules
