The teachers, they reject<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The school board\u2019s fantasy<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pandemic hits badly<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Classroom\u2019s no place to be<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Inside schools, there\u2019s thronging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is no open space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cough-barking, they\u2019re close now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Masks hanging off their face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don\u2019t stand, don\u2019t stand so<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don\u2019t stand so close to me <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don\u2019t stand, don\u2019t stand so<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don\u2019t stand so close to me<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This school is so crowded<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You know how classrooms get<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Social distance isn\u2019t easy<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Crowded like a movie set<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Contagion, frustration<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My mask is thirteen-ply<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The virus lies waiting<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But I don\u2019t want to die<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don\u2019t stand, don\u2019t stand so<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don\u2019t stand so close to me <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Get back six feet so<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You cannot breathe on me<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Loose masks in the classroom<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They walk up and say Hi<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s crowded in bathrooms<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Airborne viruses fly<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s no use, some people<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Say it\u2019s a hoax and scoff<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m living in The Stand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When will I start to cough? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don\u2019t hand, don\u2019t hand in<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your paper in to me<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don\u2019t stand, don\u2019t stand so<\/p>\n\n\n\n
