Knudge with elbows, wash hands, but it's alright to spit on one another's face and keep on practising the art of "socializing in bed" so long as you have your hands bound behind backs, I suppose...
Villanelle: Alright guys: Heave and Ho! And let it go
(Confinement to one’s home though fines during « outings" add to revenue, private companies take orders from far-flung lands for masks, gloves and ventilators and protective surgical equipment when the Chinese already informed The WHO of the epidemic on December 16, 2019 and the South Koreans manufactured the "testing-gear » from artificial genes in February while tourists returning from the East were freely landing - without being tested - all over the West: « Pointless closing the barn door when the horse has bolted! » )
Alright guys: Heave & Ho! And let it go

Alright guys: Heave & Ho ! And let it go
The guy who pays is the guy who’s pinned low
…The Guy at the Top rows free from fear
Ne’er Hem & Haw ! Wash hands ere ye go
Stay home and watch Top Dogs whinge O ! Woe !
…Take-aways with cooks’ sneeze good with beer
Alright guys: Heave & Ho ! And let it go
Ne’er Hem & Haw ! Wash hands ere ye go
