Paper cuts are painful

Paper cuts are painful
Bend the knee
To the righteous
They will be heartbreakers
Burn your fingers
On the hot plate
Everyone has done it
My blisters
Have little sisters
And a few brothers
In packs
Vacuum sealed
Sit in judgement
On the ill at ease
Talking to a stranger
In a boiler room
Is an awkward
Moment when
You are alone
With an empty thought
Washing hands
Will keep germs at bay
Ninety nine percent
Of the time
Try not to forget
Coughing on a neighbour
Is a crime
In a crisis
Be on the lookout
For the righteous
Paint the town red
It is a distortion
Out of proportion
In all probability
And bend the knee
For no one
It adds value
