THAT UNINVITED GUEST

 

That Uninvited Guest


Often in the years that come and go

There will appear the unwanted visitor

News arriving by the sound of the phone

At an unexpected time, early morning

Relating with anxiety, he or she is gone

Headlines in the morning paper, boldly

An event that has carried world-wide

A knock on the front door and standing

Asking for help in finding a lost animal


Now comes the ultimate of the unwanted

Strangely shaped and, unseen without help 

Revealing oddly, colored covered with spikes

Such a small, lifeless but such capabilities.

Visited worldwide, and those isolated

Entering the masses without invitation

Causing the earth to become incapacitated

 That uninvited guest we know as COVID-19.

Fortunately, today slamming the door begins

Scientist have discovered a method of slamming

Preventing the unwanted guest: Vaccination.
