,I find in the morning three times out of ten
,A case of Corona’s been spotted again
,He hasn’t returned from Beijing or from Rome
.A decade has passed since he’d traveled from home
,I’m a young lady of savvy and STEM
,There isn’t that much I don’t know about germs
,How Koch set criteria, how Gram makes it stain
.I pester the grownups until they explain
,Flatten the curve, flatten the curve
?Why are we trying to flatten the curve
,Flatten the curve, flatten the curve
?Why are we trying to flatten the curve
,Da says that health care has limited beds
,Not enough doctors and nurses to tend
,Everyone catching the virus too fast
.It means that the number of dead will be vast
,But since you can’t stop the virus at all
,The best you can hope is it slows to a crawl
,Slow to a trickle the flood of the sick
.Flatten the curve and you bring down the peak
,Flatten the curve, flatten the curve
?How are we going to flatten the curve
,Flatten the curve, flatten the curve
?How are we going to flatten the curve
,Ma says that sick folk should stay in their rooms
,To stay isolated and not spread their dooms
,With no direct contact there’s no viral spread
.Can’t sneeze on people when lying in bed
,But I’ve done my research, the math isn’t tough
,They’ve sick and contagious before the first cough
,You can’t stop the ones you’ve infected before
!But now that you know don’t infect any more
,Flatten the curve, flatten the curve
?How are we going to flatten the curve
,Flatten the curve, flatten the curve
?How are we going to flatten the curve
