Test my Corpse for Covid!

 Test My Corpse For Covid

by Winlar

Sore throat, tight chest, coughing

Whole lot of fatigue

Do you think it’s Covid?

Oh, I’m sure you’re all intrigued

I should sure get tested

Find out what’s the deal

So I’ll make the next appointment in…

Two weeks? Can that be real?

Yep, the testing’s backlogged

From everything I’ve read

By the time I get one I’ll

Either be healed up or dead

So…

Test my corpse for covid!

Would you please my love?

I will be so reassured

To know just what I died of

Test my corpse for covid!

If you’re so disposed

Hope when they’re available

I’m not too decomposed…

Oh I know, I’ll just pick up

Take home tests from the store

I’m so sure it will be worth

The twenty thirty bucks or more

So I’m off to get one

At my local shop

Since the website couldn’t be bothered

To tell me they’re out of stock

Sure enough the friendly staffer says

“Golly, shucks, gee whiz”

I told her, “Hey no worries!

Except, well now you’re too at risk…”

Test my corpse for covid!

Once the tests arrive

That is if they come while 

Anyone’s still left alive

Test my corpse for covid!

Won’t you please my dear?

There should be some incoming

In the pandemic’s fourth year

I still trust the system

No ifs ands or maybes

Though it’s better suited

To delivering beanie babies

I’m sure we will work this out

And get it all corrected

We’ll have much more urgency 

Once everyone’s infected

Que sera sera you know

Whatever will be will be

That’s the attitude

I’m sharing with the CDC!

Test my corpse for covid!

Though I’ve turned to mulch

I’ll fin’ly have 48 hours

To wait for the results!

Test my corpse for Covid!

Hey I’m not depraved!

I’d sure hate to pass it to 

The guy in the next grave!
