CORONA LIMERICK - 6

The Expandable vilely expands

And bone dead does it bury that stands

In its course of mass-killing,

Of exterminating

Of all earthlings - be simpletons or brigands.

Its far-reaching tentacles do spread

As the king of all creatures does dread

If a ghost in the sight

In the dead of night -

All in urine and stool 'neath their bed.

But unsparing's the apocalyptic -

The unseen, impish, creepy and cryptic -

And will raid every hideout

From the bunker to dugout,

Before blighting all humans to 'septic'.

This's how pessimists think from their shell

Hugely shock'd in the face of the 'hell'.

But there're optimists 'so,

Who are hopeful and know

That the human 'heroics' shall never fail.
