Not sick
You filled out the form
and so declared
ticked all the no boxes
you’re not sick
you’ve not been near a sick person
you’ve not travelled to a land of sickness
temperature checked
you’re ok to see the doctor
sprains and breaks
twisted turns and bloody nose
are all ok
should this make your blood pressure rise
it won’t be to your demise
to be fair these rules apply
to make us covid safe
and we do have telehealth
although it’s not a breeze
when NBN does freeze
so if you wheeze and sneeze
and you’re way too hot
it’s a stick up the nose
then drink hot lemon and hit the cot.
