My Covid Things

I have a warped sense of humour which would be apparent to any who have read anything I have written.

I recently wrote my first ever rap song and from that decided that perhaps music is the key to finding sanity in the world we now live in.

I re-wrote the lyrics to the Sound of Music song “My favourite Things” and wrote a parody titled “My Covid Things”

Let me know what you think.

Stanza:

Lockdowns and mandates announced with little warning

Testing and masking including the children

Restrictions for some but not for the wealthy

These are a few of my covid things

Stanza:

Seeing my kids trying to learn online

Watching my quality of life in decline

Seeing our leaders toeing a hard-line

Now our kids are banned from playing outside

Drinking coffee outside is also a crime

These are a few of my covid things

Stanza:

Knowing police and army are patrolling the streets

Waiting to fine us for not toeing the line

Arresting us for posting online when it doesn’t suit the official line

Video surveillance is driving me out of my mind

These are a few of my covid things

Chorus:

When politicians talk

When the WHO squawks

When I’m feeling sad

I simply remember my covid things

And then I get real mad

Stanza:

Watching the elite flaunting their opulent life all the time

Seeing inflation ruining my bottom line

Seeing celebrities jet setting the globe

As they party and then lecture on what we should do

These are a few of my covid things

Stanza:

Mandates on vaccines and repressive decisions

Excluding people from daily living

Dividing society to achieve a solution

Trampling on liberty and personal freedom

These are a few of my covid things

Stanza:

Knowing my life is no longer mine

Watching the politicians spewing their rhetoric all the time

Knowing they believe only in their own bottom line

As they live their lives exempt from their lies

These are a few of my covid things

Chorus:

When politicians talk

When the WHO squawks

When I’m feeling sad

I simply remember my covid things

And then I get real mad
