He developed lethargy, and didn’t want to eat,

I gave him tasty foods that were sweet;

In an effort to help him eat better, I was upbeat,

Until the day I became viral incomplete.

With the Covid -19, I felt as if thrown,

Lost all scent and taste, desired not a scone;

Aching deep pain in every single bone,

The emergency room doctor said to lay prone.
