Saturday dawn

A stretch and a yawn

There are things to be done

For a wonderful day has only begun

I peek at my phone to see what I missed

To see a new email that I now have in my midst

Oh, a message I wonder what it could be

What I was soon to find out was unbeknownst to me

My eyes focus and read my on my screen

I’m sorry sir, you’ve contracted COVID-19

I can't believe it, this can’t be true

I don't feel anything, no fever, no goo

I re-read the message again and again

But there is no difference between now and then

I start to make calls I must let people know

For I was just around some friends not too long ago

I keep it plain and apologetic and let them know they’ve been exposed

“You should take a test” is what I proposed

After some tests thankfully nothing had spread

There was one more thing which I knew I would dread

Twas the weekend after exams and we’d thought to have some fun

But the plans that I had made had to be undone

After all the texts were sent and the calls were all made

I began to look around at my bedroom at my new palisade

How will I stay occupied for the next 5 days

I’m left with my thoughts to explore like a maze

There is no need to panic I feel just fine

The real threat is the boredom I face in my confine

I guess I have some days off of school this is a time to relax

I'll have someone to deliver all my snacks

As long as I stay positive I won’t go insane

I have no symptoms there is no need to complain

I know I’m stuck there's no negotiation

So what shall I do during my Isolation
