Geoff’s feeling a bit better,

But far from being right,

I think that I feel worse now,

I’m going to have to fight.

It is an awful illness,

We’re both so sleepy and worn out,

But we will get there before long,

Of that there is no doubt.

Keep sending all your love to us,

It will help us through,

To know all the friends we have out there,

Want us to pull through.

We’re just sleeping all the time,

That just isn’t me,

But a few days of resting,

I’m sure a change we’ll see.

About this rotten virus,

Lot’s of bad words come to hand,

I’d better not put them in my poems,

Or from Facebook I’d be banned.

Of course we wouldn’t want that,

So say a few choice words for me,

Whatever they are please rest assured,

With them I will agree.

This poem’s a little different,

I hope it may help you,

So little’s known about Covid,

It may help to see you through.

You know we were both tested positive,

I had to try to be a nurse,

So I’ll just tell you how it’s been,

And put it all in verse.

At first you lose your smell and taste,

Then the tiredness kicks in,

You want to sleep around the clock,

No appetite there’s been.

The only advice I can give you,

Is drink water all day long,

Then just keep going off to sleep,

The rest can do no wrong.

I hope none of you get it,

It drains you, that’s for sure,

I hope that this may help you,

And very soon they find a cure.
