Thinking Twice about another day in Housebound Paradise

Stuck in the house, stuck in the house
My new friend tells me he was once a famous grouse
How many times must I hear the word Coronavirus?
As irritating as Miley Cyrus
Less so that Billy-Ray Cyrus
Learning recipes with whatever you've got
Noodles? Eggs? Hob Nobs? Chuck it all in the pot
Hope everything I've eaten is ripe
Given I'm limited in my number of wipes
Living with electric friends
Not mourning EastEnders coming to an (East) end
People panic buying
Nurses in cars crying
Bog roll of shelves flying
Can you count all the memes?
Days lost staring at (nurse the) screens
The sudden irrelevance of cash
Sod fashion, who is gonna see you looking dazzle flash
Learning the ways to self isolate
Alcohol going down at an alarming rate
No more Match of The Day
Pundits now stretching out there tedious say
Perhaps it was ever thus this way?
How many pints of milk do you need?!
Your arm span outmatched by your greed
Taking away from the old
Twenty boxes of Daz and Bold
Week day weekend haze
Losing track of the actual days
Get your once a day exercise
Giving this online video a try
Can't shake the burning in the thighs
Keep putting the pictures in the window
Watch the spring plants sow and grow
Keep checking in on everyone
I miss getting Brexit done
Prime Minister scores a positive test
Talk about making an Eton Mess
The NHS earn our round of applause
Doing more than their all for a worthy cause
Situation gives time for thinking and pause
Don't lose focus on people's good
Those checking in on needy in their neighbourhood
Shop workers asking after the missing folk
Those keeping spirits up with a daft joke
Will the presidential elections happen in November?
Or are we stuck for longer with this total member?
So many fantastic volunteers
Doing good despite their fears
In the coming years they'll get their eight o'clock cheers
So here you worry about any cough
All social events that are called off
Stuck in the house like a human hybrid slo
Wish this thing would just fu...cough cough...
