Jack and Jill both got ill
were pale and chill all over
Jack went off and caught a cough
And Jill came tumbling after.
Up Jack got and home did trot
to social isolation
he could not see his mother in law
which was some consolation.
It's worse than flu and does for you
Whatever they might tell you
But thank God for the NHS
and the ventilators.
The moral thus is stay at home
in case you catch it later.
Wash your hands and stay apart
or you'll end up as data.
