Go away, corona!
Jordach Golding
COVID-19, Letters, News
April 30, 2020

Go away, corona!

Dear Editor,

Corona, corona, go away! It’s been too long and you’re still in my way.

My mom is depressed, and I am sad, with this coronavirus is really bad.

Mask on face, six feet away; that’s what the Government says,

It’s been so long, I want to play, but parks and playgrounds close every day.

School online is no game, work gets harder by the week.

My backpack is sad, and my shoes are glad, Boy, oh boy, I’m really sad.

People are fading every day, hospitals are packed like it’s a play day.

My birthday plan was to go to Disney, but now it’s just a misery.

I’m bored in the house and I’m in the house bored.

Corona, corona, just go away! Leave this world, you’ve done enough.

I missed my friends and school was fun.

Just go away.

Run, run, run!

Jordach Golding
