Experiments with figurative language written in separate lines

COVID19 New York

(a haiku chain*)

NY is locked down
Coronavirus in town
Stay home watch TV

TV’s depressing
Bad news on all prime channels
Binge watch Walking Dead?

Going out today
Mask on, gloves on, goggles on
Keep six feet apart

When I get home –
should I gargle with Listerine
or something stronger?

Toilet paper’s gone
Praying for constipation
but had diarrhea
