O M L ! by R Cane


O M L ! 
or 
Archie's Bunker & the
Pandemic March 

 roughly to the tune of 'Glory Glory Hallelujah'  – G 


A crazy novel virus  is under detection
Starting the spread – of a dreaded new infection
Contagion is rampant –  yet no vaccine injections !?
O-h-h-h My ! – LORD !?!

Chorus
I've got a hankerin'  – to hunker in a bunker... 
I've got a hankerin'  – to hunker in a bunker...
I've got a hankerin'  – to hunker in a bunker...
O-h-h-h My ! – LORD !?!

Social distancing – new forms of not dancing
just wearing masks - has folks all askance-ing 
Germ laden  microbial stew – bio-soup for you !
O-h-h-h My ! – LORD !?!

Door knobs – chairs – banisters 'n stairs 
Coughs and sneezes -- filling all the airs 
Don't touch anything --- anywhere !!
O-h-h-h My ! – LORD !?!

Phones and devices – are potentially lethal
Parties and bars are dangerous equally
Hiv - mers - sars - this is a worst sequel 
O-h-h-h My ! – LORD !?!

Everyone look – we're gonna quarantine !
To avoid those bugs – that attack us deadly and unseen
The whole dang thing - is such a terribly bad dream 
O-h-h-h My ! – LORD !?!

Times so bad – poor 'n old folks just can't win
Dyin' like fly's – it's a downright sin
Churches are closed - the gov'mints worn thin
O-h-h-h My ! – LORD !?!

Neither church - nor state - has workable schemes
to save my job or house – or my gizzard or my spleen!
What a dystopian nightmare - and desolate scene
O-h-h-h My ! – LORD !?!

Alas this is something you just cant shoot away or knife 
It's bigger than bullets and all the money or your life
Is the 2nd amendment - keeping you healthy tonight?
O-h-h-h My ! – LORD !?!

Nurses, First Responders, and our Fearless Physicians 
Are all Glorious HERO's - but in a terrible position 
In this  Battle of survival there's no damn ammunition !?
O-h-h-h My ! – LORD !?!

So what ever happened - to all the dang tests?
China made some - seems others got the rest 
But we are sucking hind teat - and just trying to do our best
O-h-h-h My ! – LORD !?!

We hope some day - that there will be a cure
Vaccines & inoculations - oughta fix us up for sure
But a 30 day lock down -  or we all go down the sewer  !
O-h-h-h My ! – LORD !?!

A  30 day lock down - is the only solution
If the bug is denied hosts - it just dies in the confusion !!
So get busy labs -  get us out of this seclusion !!
O-h-h-h My ! – LORD !?!

Bill Gates told us -  it's a new kind of war !
So lets draft him or someone -- as a new 'VIRUS CZAR' !?!
Bill's influential -  this virus exponential
O-h-h-h My ! – LORD !?!

For 30 solid days - we should all stay alone
Stir crazy prisoners - bored in our own homes
No matter what we wish - we are not allowed to roam
O-h-h-h My ! – LORD !?!

If we deny this bug - its desperate last stand then
Soon  great rejoicing will ring -  ALL throughout the lands
Because we  EACH FLEW SOLO  and yes,  WASHED OUR HANDS  !!

O-h-h-h My.....   LORD !?!

Chorus
I've got a hankerin' – to hunker in a bunker...    (3 times) 
O-h-h-h My ! – LORD !?!
