Coronavirus Haiku

For those unfamiliar with haiku, it’s a form of Japanese poetry that contains three lines — the first line consists of five syllables, second line seven syllables, and the third line five syllables.

For those unfamiliar with coronavirus — if you exist, you’re probably in a cave deep within the darkest recesses of the earth and won’t be reading this anyway.

Corona — oh crap
Death, toilet paper hoarding
It’s a global mess

Trump blames Obama
China, Fake News, Democrats
Makes sense in his brain

Wash hands all the time
Cough or sneeze into armpit
Yay sanitizer

Social distancing
You can’t even touch elbows
So much for dating

What will happen now?
Will it disappear — poof! Gone
By Easter? Doubt it
