(Do the) Outbreakdance

(Do the outbreakdance!)
My panic is manic
– a gigantic virus outbreak unrolls.
(Do the outbreakdance!)
I hoard, oh Lord!
Cupboards full of toilet paper rolls.
(Do the outbreakdance!)
I lock in, I stock in
a shocking amount of canned food.
(Do the oubreakdance!)
I’m steady, already
so ready for the all-pandemic mood.

(Do the outbreakdance!)
I’m sweating and coughing,
my fever’s in sync with the death toll rise.
(Do the outbreakdance!)
I’m sitting, and watching
them botching all the control measure tries.
(Do the outbreakdance!)
The germ’s not concerned.
We wormed it out of its natural domain.
(Do the outbreakdance!)
We ate the cake but faked
it remained intact some way.
