Alexander Rosenkrantz

COVID's novel dirty word,
Worse than stepping on a turd.
Rub away, with all your might,
Testing positive's a fright.

Lexicon aside, let's face it,
Arm's length distance? Maybe mace it?
Keep those huggers far at bay,
And you kissers stay away!

Not much chance for new romance,
Keep it all down in your pants.
Gents and ladies staying home,
Masked crusaders, so alone.
