Virus

Aussie’s got the nasty virus,
So we’ve gotta look close with our iris,
If we wanna get out of this crisis.

We really wanna see our friends,
But until then we just pretend,
And wait for letters that they send.

Now they’ve cancelled our excursions,
You’ve gotta come up with some solutions,
If you don't want any confusions.

Children’s eyes are getting bad,
From all the screen time that they’ve had,
And not having soccer makes me sad.

We catch up with our friends on Zoom,
And I hope that I will see them soon,
I can’t wait to go back to my classroom.
