I did not write this, but it is quite funny.
With apologies to Dr. Seuss:
I do not like this quarantine
I do not like this quiet scene
It seems so very harsh and mean
To have to keep this quarantine
Can I go out to the park?
Can I go out after dark?
No you can't go to the park
No you can't go after dark
Can I go out to the gym?
Can I work out to get slim?
No you mustn't be so dim
Of course you can't go to the gym!
Nor can you go out to the park
Even if it's after dark
Can't I just go out to eat?
Or to buy an ice cream treat?
No you can't go out to eat
Nor to by an ice cream treat
And you can't go to the gym
Not to bulk up or to slim
No you can't go to the park
Even if it's after dark
Even if it's harsh and mean
You have to stay in quarantine!
I can't! I can't! I'll lose my mind!
No walks or trips of any kind?
No walks or trips of any kind
No great loss if you lose your mind
So even if you kick and scream
You have to stay in quarantine!
Why must I follow this dumb rule
It seems ridiculous and cruel
it seems so very harsh and mean
To be stuck in this quarantine!
We're doing this to stop the spread
So no more people end up dead
This will protect the elderly
By acting extra cautiously
If we all do our part, and fast!
All this will soon be in the past
So please stop making such a scene
And just stick to the quarantine!
Ok I think I get it now
We must save lives and this is how
We can't go out with friends to eat
Or to a picnic or retreat
We cannot go out to the gym
(Who'll even see if we are slim?!)
We cannot go out to the park
Even if it's after dark
We cannot go out here and there
We should not go out anywhere
I'm sorry for the nudge I've been
I'm gonna stay in quarantine!
