Second Surge

 

 

We were told to stay in

And keep everyone safe

We were told to listen

To what was being said

 

We were told to be kind

And keep our distance

To help protect this virus from spreading

And to protect the overrun NHS

 

Most people obeyed

And kept to the rules

Staying indoors and washing hand

To help themselves keep well

 

But others disobeyed

They broke the rules

They went to beach parties

And shamed themselves

 

Others went to protests

Standing one on top of another

Spreading the virus with human contact

Making way for a second surge

 

People can be stupid

They can be inconsiderate

But others are being sensible

Because they know this virus kills
