Touch gloves and come out fighting
Touch gloves and come out fighting
is the way of a boxing bout
without a doubt the covid way
is touch elbows and social distance
Shadow boxing allowed
sweat, blood and tears
not smelt by the crowd
their home watching the fight
on zoom tv
Shadows
will linger long into the night
as behind the masks
you have to wonder
is covid the winner.
