Covidiots' Delight In Seven Fits

Cory caught the COVID.
(He would not wash his hands.)
He cried. (He ached!) His dry skin flaked.
By five he understands:
to last (survive) past five past five,
he'll need to cede his glands.
     Chinese catch the COVID.
The Spanish catch it, too.
Around the globe, folks jaw like Job:
"This frickin' ain't no flu."

     II. 
Cassandra caught the COVID.
(To distance she chose not.)
She gasp'd for air. She lost her hair.
Her plasma would not clot.
We buried her with care -- with myrrh --
within the fam'ly plot.
     Koreans catch the COVID,
as does the New York Jew.
Around the globe, folks jaw like Job:
"The docs ain't got no clue."
     
     III.
Conrad caught the COVID.
(He would not isolate.)
“Funk, that,” he spat. “I’ll don this hat
and make the country great.”
The surgeons said he’ll soon be dead
unless they amputate.
     Caucasians catch the COVID:
can't cats from Katmandu...? 
Around the globe, folks jaw like Job:
"Who spawn'd this...? You know who!"

     IV. 
Candice caught the COVID.
(She would not wear a mask.)
“No way,” shriek'd she, "shall they make me
perform so twee a task.”
Today we’ll tin her ashes in 
this crematory cask.
     Creationists catch COVID.
Darwinians do, too.
Around the globe, folks jaw like Job:
"Just bid your bod adieu."

     V. 
Cosmo caught the COVID.
He heard on Murdoch News:
"You've nowt to fear. Toss out that gear!
Excrete elitists's views!"
Once Cosmo pass'd, schmuck Tucker gass'd
re nitwits' right to choose.
     Chileans catch the COVID;
ditto persons from Peru.
Around the globe, folks jaw like Job:
"Who prays that we pull through...?"

     VI. 
To coves who've caught the COVID:
note caref’lly what’s been done.
Who was it said the guff which led
to ends fa-a-a-a-ar short of fun...?
What's next in line post COVID-19…?
-20…? -21…?
     There's none don't catch the COVID.
(Has COVID devil'd you...?)
Around the globe, folks jaw like Job:
"This frickin' ain't no flu." 

     Coda:

(Once a vaccine is available, a final verse -- 
a coda -- will be composed featuring the 1/3 
of Americans who will boycott vaccination
citing as justification one myth or another.)
