Everybody wanted to go viral
until it became infectious
before hugs were not dangerous
when handshakes were still courteous
Everybody wanted to go viral
when kids were playing at the playground
it was then glorious
All the busy traffic
and crowded sidewalks
those were all tedious
Everybody wanted to go viral
and then the sickness came along
touches and beaches are now longed
Everybody wanted to go viral
but now Mom and Dad are home
though still are on their phones
churches and mosques are now closed
stores and roads are parts of dead town
