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.

Don't Stand So Close to Me
Inspired by The Police
Don’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.
Intersting Post! Thanks for sharing a different perspective.
