HELLO AM I EVEN HOT

They come every morning

to check that I'm okay

Have you got a temperature

Are you feeling hot they ask

I don't know they've got the glass stick

do they still have glass sticks these days

Nobody knows who's got this Corona thingy

and what they're trying to say now in America

is that most of the people over sixty five

who will die from this virus would have died

anyway from something else

But my carers still come and check up on me

they wear scary masks and placky gloves

they say things like 'Have you got any sanitizer'

and 'can I just check your temperature'

Hello am I even hot - under the collar perhaps

I used to drink Tizer I tell them and Corona

from the mobile pop man when he came round

they have no clue what I'm talking about

no idea what pop is/was they think that pop is

some kind of radio music thing they don't

like pop they like rap but they call it wrap

I told them I invented rap music but in those

days everybody called my version crap music

They only know what I tell them (I think)

and I don't tell them anything useful

like all my pin numbers and my passwords

I don't tell them because I can't remember them

they don't ask me anything any more they ignore me

Hello am I even hot/drinking/sinking whatever
