Corona Carina (fictitious)
She was part of a graph
read her short epitaph
She had died on the first of May
She was just a blue dot
of some ink that was shot
from the hole of a printer array
the disease was a hoax
to the gullible folks
reassured by the man everyday
though the man was a slacker,
a fat tally-whacker
She supported his perilous way
if She'd just worn a mask
to the rally as asked
She just might have been with us today.
say good-bye darling flower!
as you wilt in that hour
like a friend
at the end

Thank you
I was thinking about changing the title to Corona Corrina, but it sounds quite like Corrina, Corrina. It rhymes much better, but the name Corrina is popularized in a positive way.
Och! Life's shards of decision.

Memory of those lost
Had to forget the empty seats at the dinner table.

People should
remember....nearly 4,000,000 worldwide. There will likely be no global observance for those people, either.
