The ides of March came in with a chill
Along with a virus that makes people ill.

Fever and cough and shortness of breath
As well as a very real portent of death

Nature has told us it makes the rules
Hopefully our leaders aren’t all fools

Although change is not welcome in all of our lives
We have no choice, in change we must abide
