Corona Carina (fictitious)

She was part of a graph
read her short epitaph
She had died on the first of May

She was just a blue dot
of some ink that was shot
from the hole of a printer array

the disease was a hoax
to the gullible folks
reassured by the man everyday

though the man was a slacker,
a fat tally-whacker
She supported his perilous way

if She'd just worn a mask
to the rally as asked
She just might have been with us today.

say good-bye darling flower!
as you wilt in that hour
like a friend
at the end
on display

It does fit the bill. ~ Geezer.

I was thinking about changing the title to Corona Corrina, but it sounds quite like Corrina, Corrina. It rhymes much better, but the name Corrina is popularized in a positive way.
Och! Life's shards of decision.

remember....nearly 4,000,000 worldwide. There will likely be no global observance for those people, either.
