A Verbal Makeover For All The Non-Essentials Like Myself

________________________________________________________________________________________________

The Corona Virus

mandates self-isolation

and not leaving our home

It gives new phrasing

to the expression

"Holier than thou"

Morph those words into 

"Lazier than thou"

And that is all

we  need to survive

That is,

we do not leave

the comfort

(or discomfort)

of our home

(or hovel)

 

We should wear our pajamas

all day long,

and do as little as possible

from dawn to dusk

Let yawning become

our new primal scream

Whether or not

we have a cat,

we can learn

how to cat nap

 

We should read the news

from six years ago

and be able

to predict what happens

on Page Six

Be lazier than our neighbors

and stand a better chance

of  not dying

before our time

Unless we relish the idea

of killing our neighbor

with a handshake

(or vice-versa)
