             The Brit Bug

If Donald Trump, esteemed gentleman that he was, called COVID-19 “Kung Flu”
this new B117 mutation of the COVID-19 virus can I call it the Limey Virus?
being of British heritage please don’t throw me under the bus

Whatever it is B117 unfortunately is not the only mutation in town
rest assured a “Yankee Virus” will be nastier and cause the world to frown
helped to develop by a careless political clown

Let’s not forget the mutation from South Africa
that attacks the tummy and makes you go to the loo for lots of kaka

Oh and that nasty one from Brazil
that really can make you seriously ill

Please don’t blame the Brits
they’ll soon have fits

There will soon be mutations from all the countries in the globe strutting their stuff
I have had enough of this disease so am becoming a bit gruff
we have all had enough!

We are all getting sick of hearing about COVID-19
and venting our spleen
so let’s be positive and the end of the dastardly spiked little bugger in our night-time dream
