The Great White Chocolate Jesus
I’m awake and alive
It’s time to leave this hollow beehive
I’ve been stung and I’m screaming
I found the CURE, and I’m beaming
Believe me. It’s worked
My arrogant mind smirked
That Dettol’s a great liqueur
A real miracle CURE
Before I went to bed
I did what the great white man said
And smothered my daytime fears
Even lathered behind my ears
A dabble on my nose
But couldn’t reach my toes
Slept like a white chocolate Jesus
Dreamt I was the great white bio-genius
And I awoke CURED from yesterday
Fit and eager for my next isolation day
