Queen of the Quarantine
By Liz Landau

It’s day 17
after COVID-19
Made the whole world stay in
Let my party begin

I’m too busy for Zoom
Too much fun in my room
Where I sleep in past 10
Never change clothes again

So much streaming to do
No point talking to you
Cause I’m better than ever now

‘Cause I’m the queen of this quarantine
Got my wine and my cheese
But if I have to sneeze
What does it mean?

My new Kindle’s on fire
I watched all of the Wire
That was your favorite show
Well now I’m in the know

Baked some brownies, some bread
Sewed a mask for my head
But there’s no point in leaving
The sunshine’s deceiving

I haven’t spoken a word for weeks
And I definitely won’t speak it to you

Cause I’m the queen of this quarantine
Got my wine and my cheese
But if I have to sneeze
What does it mean?

I’m happier than I’ve ever been
And you’re having a hard time, right?

It’s Day 203 of a world closed to me
Maybe I’ll change my clothes
Stretch my hands to my toes

Lots of books left to read
Lots of dough left to knead
Think I might clean my castle
Each day is a hassle

I’m starting to cough
But I’m brushing it off
‘Cause there’s no one left to tell

Cause I’m the queen of this quarantine
Queen of this quarantine
Queen of this quarantine

While everyone’s hopin’
That the country reopens
I don’t know what I’ll be
Does anyone remember me?
