A Case Of Coronavirus

I'm very bored,
Sitting in the classroom.
Soon the teacher stood up and said,
"I'm going to the bathroom"
As she left the building,
It all started.
Through the sound of coughing and sneezing
I watched as the teacher departed
It all began spreading,
All from the host
Like cement on bricks
Like Jam on toast
It's spreading, it's spreading!
I pull up my mask
Someone heard the coughing from out the window
Soon the loudspeaker said,"You all have a task"
"Evacuate the school" It boomed.
I prepare to get away from this crisis
I run as hard as I can.
"We have a case of the CoronaVirus!"
