Covid Poems FINAL

Pandemic
Each Year we prepare for flu season
‘This year will be the worst’ they say for some reason
We are long overdue a global pandemic
But we are prepared no need to panic
The pandemic policy we review each year
And each flu season we survive we let out a cheer
There is talk of a new virus?
But we’re ok we have policies to support us
The pandemic hits at a phenomenal pace
Like startled bunnies we stare into space
Guidance is coming through by the minute
Getting it to staff is the challenge we’re facing
It’s a marathon we running make sure you pace
But this is a different kind of race
Wave 1 we are all cheered
And the decks have all been cleared
Wave 2 it’s business as usual
We can’t afford to become casual
Wave 3 We are tired but we keep up pace
We are still running the race
We had all the guidance and polices a plenty
But nothing prepared us for 2020!
