World* 0 – 0 Covid
Happy new decade!
Let’s make this year a top one.
We have so much planned.

World* 15 – 0 Covid
The Euro football,
The Olympics in Japan,
So much lined up – wooh!

World* 30 – 0 Covid
["ACE!!"]

World* 30 – 15 Covid
Not so fast, dear World!
I made my mark in China,
And spread like wildfire.

World* 30 – 30 Covid
Now who’s laughing, huh?
I’m everywhere you go.
No more fun this year.

World* 40 – 30 Covid
We’ll see about that!
The fans are armed with hand gel
And stylish face masks.

World* 40 – 40 Covid
You’re not well prepared –
The rules are always changing!
You should be at home.

World* 40 – A (advantage) Covid
No more new movies!
Eurovision’s cancelled, and
Theatres are shut.

World* 40 – 40 Covid
Not so fast there, bud!
We’ll find a way around things.
Stand well back from me.

World* A (advantage) – 40 Covid
Excuse me now, while
I go outside to clap for
Those tireless medics.

World* 40 – 40 Covid
Wow, you’re pathetic!
I’ve cancelled your holiday –
I’m invincible!

World* A (advantage) – 40 Covid
I can still have fun,
Visiting friends and touring
Around my homeland.

[“OUT!!”]
[“COVID IS CHALLENGING THE CALL ON THE RIGHT BASELINE.
THE BALL WAS CALLED ‘OUT’.”]

World 1 – 0 Covid
[PLAY SUSPENDED. MEDICAL TIME OUT.]

In 2020,
I thought a lot about how
Much the world has changed.
