Dear Editor,

I am a senior who moved to 91原创 Township just under three years ago. Enclosed is a little poem I wrote, with some thoughts on the coronavirus. Maybe your readers will enjoy it.

Coronavirus

Who would have tought, just a short year ago,

What changes were coming; how were we to know?

Without too much warning or time to prepare,

This virus arrived, spreading fast through the air.

鈥淐orona鈥� it鈥檚 called, such a sweet name, lovely name,

But ruthless and deadly its real claim to fame.

Our dear Dr. Bonnie gently led us along,

Encouraging all to 鈥淏e kind, be safe, be calm.鈥�

Wash your hands, wear a mask, stay six feet apart.

We can control it, if we all do our part.

Now, wearing a mask is a bit of a bother,

But you could save a life, maybe somebody鈥檚 father.

It鈥檚 become the 鈥榥ew normal鈥�, our life somehow,

But it won鈥檛 be forever, it鈥檒l just be for now.

Many scientists are working at a furious pace,

To develop a vaccine for the whole human race.

So stay optimistic and don鈥檛 give up hope.

Buy plenty of wet wipes, toilet paper and soap.

Anita Folk, Willowbrook
