COVID COUPLES (A CORONA CRIB)

This damn virus has us in domestic quarantine

Leading to hourly quarrels between me and my queen
Having been given the option of ‘work from home’
I thought I could get by simply writing poems

But no, all that these movement restrictions have served
Is for husband & wife to get on each others’ nerves
Forget producing ‘quaranteens’, the current situation will force

To possibly rise rapidly the rate of house-bound divorce

It is imperative that some form of social distancing
Be compulsory for couples who’ve exchanged rings
And are sharing the same small residence
Where’s the surprise, it’s simple common sense

To maintain peace and harmony with the spouse

Within the confines of every cohabited house

I wonder why instead of  the recommended isolation

They don’t mandate for husbands auditory insulation?
