"The House that Covid Built"

This is the wine that lay in the house that Covid built.

Here is the mom who drank the wine
That lay in the house that Covid built.

(1)

Here are the kids at home too much
Running, screaming, whining and such.
That made the mom drink the wine
That lay in the house that Covid built.

(2)

Here is the dad
Trying to hide the Ipad
From the kids at home too much,
Running, screaming, whining and such
That made the mom drink the wine
That lay in the house that Covid built.

(3)

Here is the dog,
Who loves long walks,
With the frustrated dad
Trying to hide the Ipad
From the kids home too much
Running, screaming, whining and such
That made the mom drink the wine
That lay in the house that Covid built.

(4)

Too often & with a sideways glance,
The kids invent a naked booty dance,
To annoy the dog,
Who loves long walks,
With the frustrated dad,

(5)

Trying to hide the Ipad
From the kids home too much
Running, screaming, whining and such
That made the mom drink the wine
That lay in the house that Covid built.

(6)

Where is your underwear?!
Mom asks with a glare
To the boys whom at every chance,
Are doing their naked booty dance,
To annoy the dog,
Now begging for a walk,

(7)

With the determined dad,
Still trying to hide the Ipad
From the kids home too much
Running, screaming, whining and such
That made the mom drink the wine
That lay in the house that Covid built.

(8)

I’m having a meeting!
Mom yells before giving her coworkers a greeting,
After the question where is your underwear,
Mom asked with a glare
To the boys, now putting their lives at chance,
Still doing their naked booty dance
Who stepped on the dog,
Now given up on a walk,

(9)

With the really mad dad,
Who now can’t find the Ipad
To give the kids home too much
Running, screaming, whining and such
That made the mom drink the wine
That lay in the house that Covid built.

Here’s the schedule for home school,
Which the kids say is so cruel,
Mom is hiding in the closet for the next meeting,
So the coworkers might actually hear her greeting
And be spared a glance
Of the now infamous naked booty dance
Which riles the dog,
Cranky from no walk,

(11)

Like the tired dad,
Who just stepped on the Ipad?!?!?!?
Which now can’t go to the kids home too much
Running, screaming, whining and such
That made the mom drink the wine
That lay in the house that Covid built.

(12)

This is the mom all tatter'd and torn,
Who homeschooled the kids all forlorn,
Who crashed her Zoom meetings at every chance,
With their naked booty dance,
This is the dog,
Who just wanted a walk
With the heavy-footed dad,
Who broke the Ipad,
Which made the kids do cry.

(13)

The same kids home too much
Running, screaming, whining and such.
All these antics caught online
Made the mom reach for her wine
That thankfully still did lay in the house that Covid built.
