Then Came The Pandemic Locknut

Humans hiding why should we care?

Something's amiss way over there

In lockdown ?


All of the doors shut and bolted?

And the window views assorted?

A lockbox!


Is that how the blue planet is?

Measuring distances gee whiz!

Sure lockout!


They are dealing with health issues?

Is there a shortage of tissues?

A locksmith?


Why would they be in need of him

When scientist have made vaccines?

Their lockset.
