Social distancing is nothing new
it's just needed now to stop the flue
it's also needed if you got bad breath
it would have been handy to stop the Black death
don't have to isolate on Venus or Mars
but that might have helped to stop SARS
it's also an excuse to say no
the parties and family events you'd rather not go
it can also give you peace of mind
and sit back and reflect on humankind
it's not as though you're in jail
you can still shop online in the sale
it might also solve neighbour feuds
although at times we might get the blues
then get depressed watching the news
and drown our sorrows with the booze
just remember we're still alive
just wash your hands, when you high-five.
