The Covid Lollipop

What say you covid lollipop?

Am I sick or am I not?

With baited breath I wait.

You will seal my fate.

I’ve been careful.

I wear my mask faithful.

Did a germ seep in?

Did the virus finally win?

What say you covid lollipop?

With my family will I be able to shop?

Have dinner?

Will I be a social winner?

What say you covid lollipop?

No covid today. For one more test, that germ has been stopped.

The brand of at-home covid tests that I use; when the test is doing its testing thing, looks like a lollipop. When I was little you could buy rectangle lollipops. They were brown on the outside, pink, and white in the middle. The shape of these tests, along with that swab stick hanging out reminds me of those lollipops.
