A NINE-YEAR-OLD has written a poem to urge everyone to stay indoors amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
Kaiya Avery-Carter, who is a charity ambassador for Inspire Dorset, had written the coronavirus-led poem to also emphasise the effort made by key workers and NHS staff.
Kaiya and her sister, Carlie, have been involved with the charity since it launched last summer.
As Inspire Dorset's routine groups and services had been cancelled following the coronavirus outbreak, the charity is instead supporting the community through collecting and delivering prescriptions and shopping, calling vulnerable people, dog walking and assisting other charities including food banks.
Read the poem below:
“It’s a global pandemic
It affects the whole systemic
This is a disaster
It’s spreading faster
It’s a global pandemic
It affects the whole systemic
There's people dying
There's people panic buying
It’s a global pandemic
It affects the whole systemic
It all started in China
It even spread to South Carolina
It’s a global pandemic
It affects the whole systemic
It’s called corona
It’s even in the island of Mona
It’s a global pandemic
It affects the whole systemic
Everyone’s in self isolation or lockdown
Even clowns, people with crowns and everyone in the town
It’s a global pandemic
It affects the whole systemic
Army is on its way
We’re just waiting for that day
It’s a global pandemic
It affects the whole systemic
Stay indoors to save lives
I know you’ve got to put up with your wives
It’s a global pandemic
It affects the whole systemic
Stay indoors
So we don’t have to involve the corps
It’s a global pandemic
It affects the whole systemic
Thank you NHS for saving us
And you don’t do it with a fuss
It’s a global pandemic
It affects the whole systemic
You can be a hero
If you reduce your contact to zero
It’s a global pandemic
It affects the whole systemic
Please stay indoors to save lives
So everyone survives
Thank you for helping us in this hard time."
