They traveled.
They had fun.
They knew the warnings of
Visiting the southern sun.
Memories are plentiful.
Lots of photos from what they’ve seen.
But what if they brought back
COVID-19?
What sympathy are we to have
For those who went away?
Knowing the risks
At home, they didn’t stay.
Irresponsible or foolish.
Their time away would not be stalled.
Now we wonder
What should they be called?
They’re joined at the hip
By those who did party.
Day or night
Knock ‘em back hearty.
Not to worry, they say
They’re young and strong
Even if they get sick
It won’t be for long.
The unseen person
They later pass
Isn’t so lucky
For them, days no longer last.
What sympathy are we to have
For those who had nights out?
Knowing the risks,
Themselves, they thought about.
Irresponsible or foolish.
Their parties would not be stalled.
Now we wonder.
What should they be called?
