Armando Iannucci, the comedy film director, has published a long "mock epic" poem about England's response to the pandemic in the Guardian. It's rather lengthy, rambling, and is in the language of something approaching Alexander Pope's The Rape of the Lock, except without the rhyming couplets, so maybe Paradise Lost is more appropriate, except Iannucci has a much weaker grasp of the iambic than Milton. Still, I laughed while reading it, so it must be somewhat of a success.
