Don't Stand So Close to Me

You can repurpose an old song with permission. In romance you can rewrite a classic like Pride and Prejudice and plop it in a modern setting.Most times, especially now, drama surrounds us and it is our duty to tell tales. I'm busy with other projects with my publisher. But I do write poetry or song.
My point is that nothing is really new, but the twists and style are all yours. So for you and your unique story telling ways, carry on.
RepurposedDon't Stand So Close to MeInspired by The PoliceDon’t stand, don’t stand so,don't stand so close to me.No covid, please step back.I want a girl, not flack.Can’t get there, too far.I walk by her, can’t meet at the bar.She smiles. She walks on.Another day, just dream on.I go home, try to stay loose.Try online, what’s the use?
Don’t stand, Don’t stand so,don’t stand so close to me.No boyfriend to hold me.Facetime don’t work, but it’s free.I want a boy to hold tight.No one here tonight.No covid, please pass me by.No grandma, no grandpa. No goodbye.So miss them, want to cry.
Don’t stand, don’t stand so,don’t stand so close to me.
