Some more wise words from that great game show host
Now we’re being told to drink domestos and coke
2020 - you’ve been such a peach
You gotta say no to drugs, but say yes to bleach
Its all so hard to believe, you couldn’t make this up
There’s no scriptwriter in Hollywood talented enough
The only thing on earth that can beat COVID 19
Is a one minute blast of Donald’s ultra-violet beam
Shine that tremendous light in me
Don’t listen to the doctors, that’s all I need
Shine that tremendous light in me
I need a lightbulb, a lightbulb suppository
And scotty from marketing he tells us we’re mates
With Donald J Trump and the United States
We’ve gotta save the free market, we are capitalists
Although as soon as someone sneezes we’re all socialists
Meanwhile at home and I’m washing the floor
For every stupid statement I drink one capful more
My brain keeps on reeling, my stomach’s in pain
My mind is a gutter, but my gut’s not a drain

I’m 22 Episodes In
A bottle and a half of cheap red wine down
And I can’t seem to look past the plot holes that are appearing now
The story is gossamer thin
Pandemia, Famine, Bushfire and Flood
I think I’ve seen this before on the news
But then it wasn’t happening to us
The characters seem so unreal
In the U.S a cartoon president
Our prime minister’s selling us used cars, Modi’s a Yogi and who knows what that meant?
Yet I can’t stop myself watching this stuff
Though it bores and frustrates me in turn
Not so long ago I’d had enough
But now I’m locked down and so I return
To this bombardment of COVID
While I sit here doing nothing at all
I guess it keeps me from going insane
And putting my head through the wall
I’m 22 Episodes in
A bottle and a half of cheap red wine down
And I can’t seem to look past the plot holes
That are appearing now....
