Tiger

The Covid Tiger


We think we’ve tamed the tiger

We’ve got him in our sights

We’re ever so familiar

We invite him to our house. 


Twelve long months we’re looking

Each other from afar

I’m seeing him on the TV

He hunts for me indoors. 


His teeth are even sharper 

His claws are much the same

His heart has little mercy

For old or young today. 


In truth he’s getting stronger

He loves we’re so distracted

He’ll plunge a knife into our backs

When we least expect it. 


So listen up and hunker down 

Wear your mask and keep your distance

We’re nearly there, we must survive it

We’ll celebrate when it’s all over.
