Covid Level 4 Poem

Covid Level 4 - Poem by Adrian Mee

In Covid Level 4 lock down

We’re told we’re not to roam

So stop that galivanting around

And stay the heck at home



We’re trying to stop a virus

Nasty to its core

So just turn on the telly

And shut the flaming door



If the day is sunny

Feel free to have a stroll

Take someone from your bubble

As you do your dawn patrol



You can even greet a stranger

If you stay eight feet apart

If they encroach upon your 2 metres

Just drop a silent fart



Unless you’re an essential worker

Healthcare, supermarket, or truck driver

Then stay inside, safe and warm

Ensure you are a survivor



Have a walk, a run, a bike

Take your flaming pick

If you stray outside your bubble

You’ll confirm that you are thick





You should stay close to home

Don’t head into the hills

For, hunting, fishing, tramping

Aren’t the way to get your thrills



Don’t put other’s lives at risk

By heading out on the water

Stay on land, close to home

You know you really oughta



You can head to the supermarket

But please just be smart

No mountainous piles of bog roll

Spilling from your cart



If we all observe the rules

We’ll support our healthcare workers

So stay at home and do your bit

We’ve got no time for shirkers



Travellers back from overseas

Are questioned at the border

Off they go to MIQ

Quarantine is now the order



Australia, UK and USA

Are struggling in their fight

Now is the time to think of others

And get this battle right



Leaders of other countries

Trump, Johnson and ScoMo

Had struggled with decisions

Clearly reacted far too slow





Ashley Bloomfield and Jacinda

Have been our leaders in this fight

The underlying message

Just do this, we’ll be alright



So please do this for each other

Don’t break the lock down rules

We’re all in this together

We’ve got no time for fools
