Follow The Demands


Mask up

Six feet apart please

Forget your own name

You won't need to speak

Don't cough in public

Wash your hands

Remember hand sanitizer

Follow the demands

The virus is super bad

The news will scare you

But it should

It doesn't exclude you

Your family is going to miss you

Because you can't go visit

Send a letter to grandparents

Hope they get to see it

Fear, fear, fear

Don't worry though

The government has it handled

Fear, fear, fear

Numbers shoot up again!

A year passes us by

As we watch from frozen windows

School on a computer screen

No more friends to know

Mask up

Six feet apart please
