wash your hands

close your door

put on a mask

clean the floor

there’s a new virus

it’s spreading more

than the one you knew

four years before

highly contagious

don’t hug your friends

i’m sure they have it

so go on a cleanse

anxiety is coming

to destroy us all

it’s that time of year again

exams always enthral

a mental illness

it’s supposed to be

but it’ll metastasise

to everyone you see

so stay clear my dear

i know you’re next

with that ever-present fear

you’ll fail all your tests

but keep hope

i know it’s hard

soon you’ll be done

with good scores on your

report card
