Up above the world so high,
Socially distanced in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle little star.
Text and tell me how you are.

Little Miss Muffet,
Sat on a tuffet,
Waiting for curds and whey.
But the Instacart driver,
Came unmasked to find her,
And frightened Miss Muffet away.

The wheel on your tablet
Goes round and round,
Round and round,
Round and round.
The wheel on your tablet

This little piggy went to Walmart.
This little piggy stayed home.
This little piggy bought toilet paper.
This little piggy had none.
This little piggy went wee wee wee all the way home.

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king’s horses and all the king’s men,
Were out of personal protective gear so
Couldn’t put Humpty together again.
